Janine obtained both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Masters degree in Library and Information Science at the University of South Florida. Raised in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, she has spent the past 25 years in Tampa as an artist, scenic painter, designer, fabricator, grant writer and archivist. Janine was one of the founding members of the Tampa artist’s collective Experimental Skeleton, participating in a number of public art projects and group shows, such as First Night, Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg, a New Year's celebration involving the burning of six giant lotus sculptures afloat in the basin.  In 2015, Tempus Projects Gallery presented a solo exhibition of her works titled Supersubsurface, a series of investigations into human perception and patterns in nature on both macro and microscopic scales. Since co-founding the design-build firm LiveWork Studios, LLC in 2011, Janine has participated, along with her partners, in collaborative public arts projects such as Music Box: Tampa Bay with New Orleans Airlift and USF Institute for Research in Art.

Janine work draws inspiration from natural phenomena such as geometric repetitions, textural landscapes, and fractal imagery on both micro and macro scales. Beyond formal observations, she incorporates elements of time, distance, and memory to establish a poetic connection between the sensory and rational experience.
