Janise Yntema (born March 29, 1962) is an American painter working in the ancient wax encaustic technique. Yntema was born in New Jersey and attended Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League of New York. She has had solo exhibitions in New York and throughout the United States as well as London, Amsterdam and Brussels. Her works are in the collections of several museums in Europe and the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Janise Yntema was born in 1962 in New Jersey. [1] She attended St John the Divine Stoneyard Institute. [2] Yntema studied at the Art Students League of New York in 1979. From 1980 to 1984, she studied at Parsons School of Design, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts. [2] [3] [4] In 2020 she received a Master of Arts from the Paris School of History and Culture, University of Kent with a dissertation titled "ECOACTIVISM: Framing the Geopolitics of Contemporary Landscape and its Representation".
Her paintings are created from numerous layers of translucent applications of pigmented wax that are fused together with a blowtorch to create a smooth and glossy skin-like surface. [3] Yntema has worked in marble dust, aluminum, iron powder, wood and wax. She said in 1996 that her body of work "makes reference towards figuration and landscape, but is abstracted and abbreviated to encompass the initial intensity of the physical gesture." [2]
In 1991, Yntema edited Portrait of a Mile Square City: Stories from Hoboken, written by David Plakke. [5] Yntema lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. [6]
Yntema has participated in more than 60 group exhibitions and had solo exhibits in New York, London, Amsterdam and Brussels. [2] Some of her notable exhibitions are:

Bernard Childs (1910–1985) was an artist who worked in Paris and New York. He was primarily a painter and printmaker, and pioneered the direct engraving of metal plates with power tools.

Smith’s paintings tackle art history’s phallocentric myths and create imagery for subjectivities absent in visual culture, specifically the feminist perspective.
