About the artist and her work
Janna Prinsloo is a professional South African artist who graduated with a BA Fine Arts degree from the University of Pretoria. She works from her studio in Cape Town. Her images vary from quiet desert-scapes to vibrant figures that come alive and seem to leap off the canvas. Her detailed portraits are often juxtaposed against abstract fields of colour
