What is Ivy May Artistry All About
Ivy May Artistry is all about the peace and beauty that Janet sees in the world around her. As a child, She had a favourite pastime: of sitting and staring at three trees on a hill. It gave Janet clarity, calm, and a moment to pause — a quiet space where everything felt still.
Janet’s business is named after her late mum, Ivy May, whose creativity, kindness, and love of simple beauty continue to guide her. Carrying her name in Janet’s work is my way of honouring her mother and keeping her spirit close as she create.
Each artwork Janet makes is a blend of memory, emotion, and the natural elements that surround her. Janet’s hope is that when people connect with her pieces, they feel a sense of calm, presence, and connection — the same feelings that inspire Janet every time she walk along the beach
