Felt Art by Janine Jacques: Yorkshire-based landscape artist
Hello, I’m Janine Jacques, a felt artist living in Yorkshire between Leeds and York. My passion lies in creating felt landscape art inspired by the countryside, seascapes and places that hold special memories. My artwork brings the beauty of nature into your home while helping you stay connected to the landscapes you love.
My felt art evokes memories of cherished landscapes, favourite walks and special times in the countryside. Each piece captures the feelings of space, freedom, calm and connection that make us feel truly alive in the natural world.
Each felt artwork brings landscape painting to life in a tactile form, capturing the beauty, atmosphere and memories connected to the places we love.

I’m thrilled to share that I was featured in The Yorkshire Post Magazine on April 20th, 2024, and in Towpath Talk in September 2024. Both articles highlight the felt art exhibition I was part of with others from the International Felt Makers Association. The exhibition was at Armley Mills in Leeds for a year and ended 1st June 2025.
The finished felt art
Rather than simply reproducing a landscape, each felt artwork is my interpretation of the colours, atmosphere and feeling of a place.
Rich colour, texture and layers of wool bring each landscape to life.
Each felt artwork combines my training in painting with the ancient art of felt-making, bringing together wet felting, needle felting and sewing to create richly textured landscape art.
My felt art can be found in art gallery shops in the UK and has been bought by private collectors worldwide.

The Process
My process for felting a landscape begins with a camera. I take lots of photographs of landscapes and skies as I see them on my travels… When I have an idea for my next wet felted landscape I create a mood board.
