"The name behind Ivy May artistry is my latest beautiful mum.

She taught me everything I know. Especially about having a go. There is no such word as cannot or bored. So hence I love creating , I am also busy making all the time whether my art, crocheting, knitting, gardening or mosaics .

So a big thank you mum"

Ivy May Artistry is all about the peace and beauty that Janet sees in the world around her. As a child, She had a favourite pastime: of sitting and staring at three trees on a hill.

It gave Janet clarity, calm, and a moment to pause — a quiet space where everything felt still.

After Janet got married, she spent holidays by the sea, and a new kind of peace formed within her. Watching the waves roll in, searching for crabs, collecting shells, and holding that simple beauty in her hands brought a deeper sense of calm to her heart.

From the stillness of those three trees to the rhythm of the ocean, these moments shaped Janet. Through her 3D artwork,She wants you not only to see that beauty, but to feel the same peace and serenity that Janet does.
