About the legendary
‘Mama C’
Janice earned her Master of Fine Arts degree at RISD. She was an art teacher at Sturbridge, MA, Culver Military Academy in Indiana, Narragansett Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, and South Kingstown School System for over 30 years.
Janice was a student of life and a passionate artist, inside and out. She was a mother, a mentor, a sister, grandmother, daughter, cousin, friend, artist, surf instructor, and an inspiration to the many lives she touched. She loved the ocean and could be found at Narragansett Town Beach on any given day. She affected many people in so many ways by either offering advice, a hand, lessons, time, a smile, or just a comforting shoulder to anyone who needed her. She lives on through this scholarship, helping the future generations of artists.
