Amel Janae

Amel Janae is a painter, photographer, and seamstress. She focuses on the human form throughout her work, honing in most recently on self portraiture. With the original intention of self-reflection in mind, Janae has brought it to life by seeing her body through a lens outside of her own. That lens revealed a view of herself she had been waiting to see in real time. Attributes within herself that can be dissected in a visual image.
Her work has been included in exhibitions at the San Diego Art Institute, Bread & Salt Gallery (San Diego), and Leminspace (Los Angeles), among other venues.
