Jannette Velez

Originally from the Bronx and relocating to Brooklyn as a young adult, the world of art and Jannette’s childhood is synonymous to her upbringing in NYC. Spending a period of time in Puerto Rico at an early age added another layer of arts and culture shifting Jannette’s artistic lens from the incredible abundance of vividly spray painted lettering, words and symbols in the style of graffiti to tropical scenes natural imagery. 
Settling in Norwich, CT in the early 2000’s, Jannette’s creative spirit takes on yet another point of view with pastoral landscapes and muted colors. From creating vibrant art inspired by street artists of NY to painting graphic style art, Jannette’s art has evolved from sketching, painting on cold pressed to large pieces of wood and using gems and precious stones to make energy bracelets that she hand makes for her business ‘Pura Elegancia’.
