Whether exercising her powers to
capture the spirit of Arabians, the romance of the Renaissance,
classic sensuality of femininity, or the universal bond between
mother and child, Cua delivers striking depth and passion. Paintings
that radiate a glow that mesmerizes the viewer, a comforting warmth
which evokes the passion within all.
Her work can be seen in select galleries around the world, with over
thirty sell-out shows abroad as well as dozens of American
exhibitions. Cua is a sure stock, an intelligent investment as her
popularity, technique, and price point increases in favor. Janice
Darr Cua's collectors include ABC Television Network, Hallmark,
Collectors Editions, Art Brilliant of Japan, politicians and
celebrities worldwide, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the La Marche
collection, and select collectors around the world.
Shows since 1997 through 2004 extend from the Grand Ball Room of the
Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel, CA, to th shores of Japan, the
breathtaking city of Paris, France, Beverly Hills, CA., Las Vegas,
NV, the Hawaiian Islands, the exclusive Ritz of Newport Beach, as
well as a refined group of sophisticated galleries throughout the
United States.
Cua is approached regularly to arouse emotion for worth while
benefits such as Return to Freedom, proceeds for retired race and
show horses, Audrey Hepburn Association in Beverly Hills, benefiting
UNICEF, and the renowned Laura's House and Laguna Association,
benefiting battered women and children. Janice also works in support
of the preservation of the Egyptian Arabian with the Pyramid
Society, through donations of original and limited editions.
Cua's talent was recognized early in youth and she began the study
of oils at age eight. Commissions followed swiftly, painting murals
in churches up to thirty feet in height, murals in private estates,
and commercial facilities. She is primarily self taught and has
intensely studied anatomy with live models for over thirty years.
Cua has been moved by the Masters, and great artists such as Alma
Tadema, JW Waterhouse, Carvaggio, Bernini, Mucha, Rembrandt and
other artists with these qualities. She has studied their work,
compositions, the beauty of depth and light, the emotional
magnetism; and through endless hours, years that fell into decades,
has arrived with her own unique, thought provoking style, which is
undeniably recognized as her own.
Janice has worked with the top publishers in Japan, as well as the
United States. Janice prefers over looking the quality and
distribution of editions and therefore is now self published and
represented by reputable, exclusive galleries throughout America and
abroad.
