Our Story

Welcome to Janelle Patterson Art!

Here you’ll find a portfolio of my canvas paintings in all sizes as well as prints, hand painted glassware, piggy banks, and ornaments.  I work primarily in bright, bold acrylics and alcohol inks and often incorporate heavy textures to visually explore emotions related to my subjects.  I love utilizing the juxtaposition of abstracted backgrounds against highly detailed animals, plants, and locations. 

I am currently taking commission inquiries for all of my products including pet and house portraits.  You can find more information on the Custom Artwork page.

I, Janelle, am the artist/owner of Janelle Patterson Art located in Springfield, Missouri. My husband, Jay, is my business partner in this adventure as well.   I’ve been working as a professional artist for 10 years and absolutely love my work.   After completing my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Art Education at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I moved to southwest Missouri and taught high school and elementary art before pursuing art full-time. 

I love new challenges and opportunities to share my love of the arts with others.  Find me on Facebook and Instagram for more information on upcoming events, my process, and new works.
