About the Book

Illustrated throughout with her colourful and vibrant paintings, this is the story of English artist Janice Sylvia Brock. It follows the fascinating and at times harrowing journey of a unique talent, who survived childhood illness and despite disability became an internationally successful painter. Janice Sylvia Brock: My Life on Canvas is the first book to combine her full biography with the largest selection of images yet published. Commencing with Brock’s carefree childhood, we learn how she then started painting from a hospital bed aged eleven, how she built her artistic business, overcame tragic events including the death of her brother, survived broken marriages and of the healing that began with her first travels to the Caribbean – where she finally achieved her dream to have a studio and gallery in Barbados. From the early, detailed Pre-Raphaelite-inspired pictures, through sun-drenched Caribbean scenes, to the contemplative oval heads that characterise her current paintings, Brock shows the ability to soak up a huge variety of influences – whether they be Impressionism, Expressionism or even elements of Surrealism – then turn them around and give her own interpretation. Janice divides her time between Barbados and the UK with studios in both and she has a large international following. This is a celebration of an artist at the height of her powers.
