Say hello to Janna Pameijer, one of three Curators

Say hello to Janna Pameijer, one of three Curators for SOTE 2026!

Read about Janna’s contributions and work below:

1978 Foundational studies completing a Degree in Fine Art majoring in ceramics.

Established a very successful studio in Brisbane and developed a sculpture technique which allowed clay workers to build large works without the use of armature. This has been so successful that Janna has been teaching this to new and return students for over 45 years.

1981 Co-founded the Queensland Wildlife society. Now a life member for services to promoting the uniqueness of Australian wildlife as a subject for all forms of art. Their annual exhibitions of paintings and sculpture are still held in various venues in Brisbane.

Regularly travelled throughout Queensland and NSW tutoring sculpture techniques to clay workers.

On her own work Janna says “I am an observer of people and other living creatures. As an observer, I want to understand the nature and particularly the essence of my subject, and capture this in form. I work mainly in clay to develop my shapes, after which they are cast in bronze.“

Public art sculptures include ‘Herd of Cows’ at the Obi River bridge Maleny, Aussie animals a Community Art project in Maleny, ‘Dolphins’ Port Stevens and Tea Gardens, NSW. Federation centenary 15 life size sculptures created with the towns people of Charters Towers.

Janna has also given workshops in Switzerland and Italy and developed interactive cultural tours in Morocco.

Welcome Janna and thanks for joining us for SOTE 2026!
