About Me

Profile

Nathan Janes is
a graduate of The Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus,
Ohio.  Janes’ acrylic paintings of vibrant canine subjects could be
best described as a form of pop art.  Janes is becoming increasingly
known worldwide and has been published in a number of national and
international publications.  In 2005, Janes was named “Emerging Artist
and Trendsetter,” by Art Business News, the largest trade publication
in the U.S.  Recently, Janes has created a number of original designs,
which have been used to help support various nonprofit organizations
that promote animal welfare.  Among these projects, Janes has designed
the first official ribbon for animals, the “Animal Guardian Ribbon,”
which is being distributed by Rational Animal to help support animal
shelters nationwide.

“I want people to look at my art and get an emotional
reaction- most people have had an animal that was close to them in
their life.  I hope that they see my art and remember those bonds that
they have felt with some of the world’s other living wonders.” Janes
also creates his art to help promote the humane treatment of animals. 
As part of his work Janes wants to educate about the pervasiveness of
poor treatment towards family pets.  He hopes that through his art
people will come to see pets as living creatures deserving of the love
and care of humans.

Janes
strives to combat the popular perception that fine art can only be in
certain styles or of certain subjects.  Much like the work of Andy
Warhol was not highly accepted by the art society until his later
years, Janes wants his art to be seen as pleasing images which carry a
deep message about humans interactions with the animals in their lives.
