"The works I have selected in the 2D catergory for special mention are, first J.Allison's truly beaustiful print titled "Matched". This work sensitivly explores the tree image in postive and negative forms, against a delicate laced print. The inverse/reverse, intaglio/relief approaches to printmaking are central to the practise and this print playfully delights in the contrast."
-Anton Hasell, Art Beat Art Exhibition, September 2011.
"Janis is enjoying the pleasures of oil painting, landscapes. Sounds easy - but anyone who has tried knows it is not. Janis is experimenting with oil paints and is now incorporating fresh elements of abstraction and unpredictable shapes that simulate inquiry rather than familiarity. There is always something alluring about lovely cloud paintings."
-Annabel Nowlan, Beneath the Surface, July 2012
