Janine Wheeler is an artist residing and working in Utopia, Ontario. She received her BFA from OCAD University in 2016, after completing a diploma in Fine Arts at Georgian College in 2014. Her studio practice is primarily oil and acrylic painting on Yupo paper. Working predominantly within abstraction, Janine’s work explores the concepts of intermediary spaces, moving and suspended energy, and the balance of chaos. She has exhibited in group exhibitions in Barrie, Midland, Orillia, London, and Toronto and had her first solo exhibition in 2018 at the Aurora Cultural Centre. Janine is also an artist instructor for the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie.
