Josiane Childers was born in the smoky mountains of North Carolina but mostly grew up in upstate New York.  After excellent training and encouragement from her high school art teacher, she completed her formal education in Fine Art at Purchase College, including a semester spent abroad in Amsterdam.

She now resides in Phoenix, Arizona with her artist boyfriend and three german shepherds. “Every piece I do is an emotional journey through color.  I am continuously inspired by the extraordinary world around me as well as the exciting possibilities of infinite color relationships. Every color is beautiful and has a place. There is not one color I can think of that I am not fond of.” – Josaine Childers
