 Biography
 Over the last three decades, Janice Darr Cua has continued to perfect her artistic style of Neo-Classicism. An innate reverence for the great masters of the Renaissance and classic tradition are combined with an innovative approach to visual effects, which characterize her paintings. The diverse talents of Cua, adept in varying media are portrayed with skill in her elaborate scenes of women, men, angels, Old World Statues and horses. Whether exercising her extraordinary prowess for unusually stirring Arabians, portraiture, defining the flavors of the Renaissance, providing the viewer a sense of presence in the painting or capturing fanciful whims of human imagination with charm and warmth, Cua delivers scenes of striking depth and passion. As depicted in "The Sistine Ceiling" Cua also passionately asserts the unity of man's body, mind and spirit.

Her paintings glow with reflective insight into human nature with much visual warmth.
She portrays women gowned in flowing simplicity, women who are sensual and virtuous, an angelic female born of humanity ready to envelope her admirer. With extraordinary expressive depictions of figures, horses, and Old World statues, Cua strives to re-create the flavor of the Renaissance and Neo-Classic images. "A Hero's Welcome" evokes the viewer into feeling that the young woman has surrendered to her inner nature while patiently awaiting the return of her love. She is the very spirit of strength in femininity. Subdued soft and sensual radiances caress the connotations of shape and position in images.
