Artist Statement: I want people to enjoy looking at the piano as a piece of art and hear the sound while visually seeing the art. That experience can take them onto a soulful journey. I love to take people into new awarenesses through art and music and let them open up their sensual experiences. I think I can do that by painting a story on the piano.
Jane Elissa is a NYC based artist creating artwork on canvas combining paint in a collage with appliques, beads, jewels etc. Her whimsical pieces always tell a story. She started her art to wear business by painting over stains on an antique shawl. In 1991, she opened a retail boutique in the NYC Marriott Marriott Marquis Hotel. When her mother was diagnosed with Leukemia she put her art and theater background into organizing a benefit with celebrity and Broadway performers. She has devoted 30 years to raising money and sponsoring researchers to fight cancer. She has taken celebrities to visit patients in hospitals.
