ABOUT JANEL

 

    

 

 

 

Janel was born in Singapore, where she began a visual arts practice at the School of the Arts (Singapore), and graduated with a BA(Hons) cum laude in Arts and Humanities from Yale-NUS College. She has a broad practice, exploring a range of social issues and emotional themes in her video and installation works, especially death. She is particularly interested in the intersections between art and mental health, and has trained directly under the founder of Animation Therapy UK, occupational therapist Helen Mason. She hopes to apply the Re-Animation approach locally, and expose more communities to the therapeutic qualities of art.
