Janet London is an abstract artist based in Montreal whose work embodies both her diverse training and her unique perspective on transformation. With degrees in Fine Art from Concordia University, Psychology from York University, and Education from McGill University, Janet bridges art, psychology, and teaching in her practice. Through her abstract works, she guides others in embracing imperfection and exploring self-discovery, encouraging them to let go of constraints and connect deeply with their aspirations. Janet’s art serves as a powerful medium for personal growth and creative freedom. London’s work is characterized by an expressive, abstract visual language paired with a deeply introspective conceptual foundation. She is best known for her mixed-media canvases and immersive installations, which delve into themes of self-exploration, transformation, and resilience. Through her art, Janet explores the relationship between human vulnerability and strength, capturing the delicate balance of personal growth and emotional release. Recurring themes in her work include the embrace of imperfection, psychological healing, the paradox of control and freedom, and the beauty found in chaos and authenticity. Janet has collaborated with leading institutions, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Concordia University Arts Program, and several private art therapy initiatives. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and the United States and is part of numerous private collections. Janet’s art continues to inspire individuals from all walks of life to seek growth and self-expression through the lens of abstract art.
