Having spent the last eight years in, Arizona, Janne recently made the emotional but firm decision to return to the intimacy of a small gallery. Located in Carefree, Arizona, her new space is best described as a cozy treasure cove where she has begun weaving together her personal interests and styles into an enchanting collection of paintings, sculptures and other unique findings. Though the official Grand Opening ceremony for the new gallery will not take place until November 2007, Janne is already featuring the works of a handful of gifted painters, sculpters and jewelry designers. Adorning the walls of Janne's gallery are paintings by Barbara Kennedy, Felicitas, Tania Dibbs and Karl Stegmann, each speaking to visitors in their own distinct languages. Also featured are several illusive glass forms created by Suzanne Wallace Mears. And, of course, as visiting eyes peruse the premises, they can't help noticing smaller accents in the form of hand-constructed jewelry from Norway and a lovely collection of vintage heart-shaped Yves St. Laurent mirror compacts bejeweled in an array of colors.

Amongst all the fanciful works displayed throughout the gallery, Janne can be found exhibiting a warm, inviting smile along with an alluring presence bathed in style and grace. She instantly commands admiration, with the stature of a model, as her aqua blue eyes lead visitors into casual converstaion. Whether she's speaking about her featured artists or telling you a story about her personal collection of 350 antique candle holders that once danced with a mirrored reflection in her New York City apartment, Janne is an essential part of the gallery experience.
