Janesko began drawing and painting female images at a very early age. The
Kansas City artist started exhibiting sensual female paintings in
galleries after graduating from Stephens College with a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree in December, 1989. Her original, limited edition and poster
images have captured collectors from all over the world.
As a fine artist, Jennifer focuses her attention on the female form. Each
female has a distinctive personality, yet all possess an honest
sensuality. High contrast and sharp direction are the two elements that
form the basis of her art. Jennifer chooses certain parts of the figure
to create movement and flow, which allows the viewer to feel the strength
and energy of the figure. As an added effect, Jennifer often uses
metallic gold and silver on selected areas of clothing and accessories.
The hard, reflective metallic sharply contrasts with the soft, flowing
skin for a dramatic effect. Jennifer uses airbrush and paintbrush to
create a mixed media painting. Original paintings range in size from 30"
x 40" to 40" x 60" on board and are priced at $5,000 and up. Larger
paintings are done on canvas. The large canvas pieces are most often
present at her gallery showings, or on special request of the client.
Collectors can also have custom portraits created in a pinup style.
Jennifer Janesko's distinctive art is quickly achieving international
recognition. Playboy magazine featured illustrations by Janesko in the
June 1998, March 1999, March 2000 and February 2001 issues. Janesko has
been showcased in Maxim magazine, Femme Fatales, PINUP and took the cover
of a Scream Queens issue. Janesko work was featured in International
publications such as Desire and Skin Two of England, Marquis Fetish Images
and OTO of Germany. Additional recognition has been gained through
airbrush art publications, such as AIR Brush-Action, Airbrush Art + Action
and Airbrush magazines. Television stations such as FOX and MSNBC have
also spotlighted the artist's work. Janesko is also scheduled to appear
in the second "New American Pinup" hardcover book, which will feature
notable modern pinup artists.
