Janine Lott

Renowned Syilx First Nations artist, Janine Lott, brings art to life with her incredible talent to capture traditional stories with colours and images that light imaginations.

Janine is well known for her specialty, creating hard shell gourd art that consumes most of her studio time. She also works with acrylic paint on canvas, pyro-engraving on wood canvas, alcohol inks, and block-printing. She grows, cultivates and harvests many varieties of gourds in her own garden. This alone is a fascinating story that can be told by booking a home studio tour, then taking your own keepsake piece of Janine’s art to your home. Make sure when you are downtown Kelowna to look up at Janine’s art prominently gracing the ‘Gateway’ to Downtown Kelowna on Bernard Street, as art banners, serving as a beautiful reminder that we are all connected to this land.
