Janene Vlach

STUDIO 395 is proud to present an extraordinary multi-media artist, Janene Vlach, whose latest artistic endeavors excite the eyes of their beholders and inspire their imaginations.
Janene’s unique style began in high school where she combined skills learned in leather shop with life drawing, bronze, and ceramic sculpture. Her exploration of dimensional art spanned jewelry fabrication and glass blowing in college. In 2016, after retiring from her self-owned preschool in Lake Elsinore, Janene started to explore her artistic passion with renewed vigor. She joined the ranks of STUDIO 395 artists and volunteered her passion for decorating for holidays to innumerable events: Dia De Los Muertos at Lakeland Village Community Center and on Main Street with The City of Lake Elsinore; Christmas at the Outlets of Lake Elsinore: “Elf U”; and many interactive art maze events.
A public art advocate, Janene is always an inspiration to collaborative group projects. Paper mache captured her interest recently and she led the STUDIO 395 construction of two 18’ tall Catrinas for the Lake Elsinore 2022 Dia De Los Muertos.
Janene has explored a new found passion in acrylic pours which she explains to have a “therapeutic value that has changed me. Although I have a lot to learn, this has been another fulfilling experience. I can’t wait to see what opens up for me next.” She is no longer offering acrylic pour classes on a regular basis, but interested students can contact STUDIO 395 to set up an appointment.
Janene’s latest adventure involves creating a paper mache replica of the beloved Lake Elsinore Sea Serpent which will curl around the pillars of the Cultural Center for the Lake Elsinore Bunny Trunk Hop and the preview of the Lake Elsinore Historical Society History Days. Come by and get an incredible photo-op with Elsie!
