Felt Art by Janine Jacques: Yorkshire-based landscape artist.

Yorkshire felt landscape of Roseberry Topping by felt artist Janine Jacques

Welcome – I’m Janine Jacques, a Yorkshire-based felt artist living between Leeds and York. My passion lies in creating felt art that captures the beauty and magic of nature. To be able to bring the great outdoors into your home through my colourful landscape paintings. 

My felt art evokes memories of cherished landscapes visited, special times in the countryside: feelings of space, freedom, calm, and truly being alive in the natural world.

Each felt landscape captures the scenic beauty in a tactile form, bringing landscape painting to life in a unique, environmentally conscious, sustainable way.

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 my current felt art exhibition with the International Felt Makers Association at Armley Mills in Leeds which will end at the beginning of June 2025.

The final felt art

A photo of the felt Artist Janine JacquesThe final felt art pieces are truly unique and not simply a recording of the scene. Each felt landscape incorporates painterly mark-making and is a celebration of colour, the beauty of wool and nature.

Each felt artwork combines my training in painting with the ancient art of felt-making to celebrate and bring together the different skills of wet felting, needle felting and sewing.

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.
