BIO: JANINE TOMSA

Janine is a fine arts major at RVCC scheduled to graduate at the end of the Spring 2020 semester. After earning her AFA degree from RVCC, she plans to transfer to Maine College of Art to complete her BFA degree. She enjoys working with pens, pencils, ink, markers and paint. Her long-term art goals are to become better at using other media and techniques such as using digital technology to create art and improve on her ability to make large scale works.

WORK STATEMENT: "UNTITLED" acrylic and watercolor on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, 2020
