This Nuances work was inspired by the beaches and lakes of Sedgefield on the Garden Route. The Outeniqua Mountains close to George is visible on the horizon. The ebb and flow of life and ecology is so tactile and visible in these areas, that it almost seems like a you enter through a walkway into a new world, a respite from "everyday life". Sedgefield is classified as a "slow town" and boasts a weekly farmer's market. Most of the beaches fall in nature reserve areas, as part of Cape Nature, and the beautiful stretches of beach are almost unspoilt. But even in this piece of paradise the mark of human industry and consumerism is visible in the fragments and bits of plastic that washes ashore. After visiting this landscape, the artist has a renewed dedication towards playing a part and picking up plastic waste from Cape Town's beaches.

Janet's work is predominantly inspired by the natural world and personal experiences. Most of her previous work and projects explored the landscape in its different forms and contexts – predominantly focusing on human interaction or relationship to it. Through her work she wants to inspire and help people reconnect, appreciate and respect nature - outside and within themselves. Genres and media of her artworks include Land Art, Drawing, Mixed Media Painting, Photography and Sculpture. "I love things that symbolize, express or honor the rhythms, seasons and cycles of nature. I believe that energy connects us within space and time to each other, the planet and everything in, on and around it. Art has the ability to strengthen these energy connections and I hope that my art and creative workshops strengthens the connection between people, nature and the creativity inherent in everyone."
