Janelle is a very talented up and coming artist. New to the art scene, she began painting in 2001. Arnkawenyerr lies just outside of Urapuntja on Alyawarr lands but is still known as the Utopia region. Janelle divides her time here with her husband’s family (Mary, Lucky and Sarah Morton and Angelina Pwerle to name a few top artists) and her traditional home land at Hermannsburg and Papunya. Billy Stockman, who is famed for being one of the original members of the Papunya Tula artists, is Janelle’s grandfather.

Janelle's paintings have always been noted as very contemporary in style and colour. Her earliest works featured bold lineage, dot work and traditional concentric circles. However, Janelle wanted to do something totally different to everyone else; a new style. She drew up inspiration from a number of places; the landscape, a story from her past and her dream to be a famed artist like her grandfather; such that her works do not tell a story of her ancient dreamtime but simply any expression of herself.

Janelle is keen to become of Australia’s top artists. From the moment her designs surfaced, her work has been admired by many and featured in exhibitions nationally and internationally. Her work is also represented in Collections throughout Australia.
