New Hope, PA – Doylestown-based artist Janine Dunn Wade has been named Honored Artist of the 95th Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill. She describes the honor as a “dream come true.” Janine has been a contributor to the prestigious art show for over 30 years!
Born in New York City, Janine received her B.F.A. from Villanova University in 1981, and studied abroad in Paris, Italy and Mexico. Her work has been widely exhibited, and she has received awards from Phillips’ Mill, the Coryell Gallery, and the American Impressionist Society, among others.
Relocating to Bucks County in 1994 with her husband Tim and their family, she soon discovered the wealth of artistic opportunities available at the Mill. “Not only was I enthralled by the whole history of Phillips’ Mill, but the people were also so nice,” reflected the artist. She became an active member of the Mill along with Tim who shares his talent with the drama program.
Janine describes painting as a dialogue with an ebb and flow. “In paint, the human spirit can soar, emotionally, visually, and in the inherent wholeness of being,” she observes. “I work to connect with a specific moment in space and time.” Known for her still life paintings in pastels and oils, Janine Dunn Wade is represented by the Patricia Hutton Galleries in Doylestown.
The Honored Artist designation is determined each year by considering a living artist who has exhibited in the Phillips’ Mill Art Show over a substantial number of years and is familiar to the art committee. Art committee members are invited to submit nominations early in the planning of each annual show. Voting is confidential and only the artist selected is made public. In addition to her award-winning work, Janine has long served on the art committee, chairing the art show in 2010. She and husband Tim have become a beloved “dynamic duo” at the Mill. Individually and together, their positive impact continues to enrich the programs and events offered at the Mill.
