Janice Stanley Pitjantjatjara, b. 13/12/1987

Overview
Janice Stanley is an innovative third-generation artist from Ernabella Arts in the APY Lands. Her grandmother was founding artist and traditional healer the late Tjariya Stanley and her aunts are senior artists, Alison Milyika Carroll and Renita Stanley. 

Janice's paintings depict Pantu (Salt Lakes ) at Attila (Mt Connor) near Uluru in the APY Lands. Attila is a significant landmark in the Seven Sisters creation story and has been passed down to Janice by her aunt, Renita Stanley. In this part of the story the sisters are walking and traveling south through this country, creating landforms in their wake. The salt lakes that are part of this arid country come alive after rain. As the kapi (water) moves across the land it transforms the colour and light of the land. Janice captures this quality of light, variety of colours and movement of water, as though viewed from above. 

With their luminous hues, unique imagery and fine lines, Janice's paintings have achieved great success in Ernabella Arts' exhibitions across Australia and internationally. Her work is in the collections of the Australian Embassy in Zagreb, the Janet Holmes a Court Collection and the Collection of Australian Parliament House, Canberra.

Biography

Janice Stanley is the third generation of Stanley women to create artwork at Ernabella Arts. She is an early career painter and ceramic artist showing great promise. 

 

Her grandmother was founding artist and traditional healer Tjariya Stanley and her aunts are senior artists, Alison Milyika Carroll and Renita Stanley. Janice's paintings depict pantu, or salt lakes near Atilla  (Mt Connor). This is a significant location for the seven sisters creation story. This story tells of seven sisters running across the country creating landforms in their wake. Although Janice has never seen them from this perspective herself, she imagines viewing the salt lakes from above.
