Janet Ormond is an environmental artist who creates powerful works entirely from ocean plastic collected along her local shores. Her deep connection to the sea and mountains inspires a practice that highlights both the beauty of nature and the devastation caused by pollution. By transforming discarded plastic into striking artworks, Janet encourages viewers to reflect on their own impact and consider more sustainable choices.

She sees art as a universal language capable of sparking dialogue and change. As such, she uses her creativity as a form of activism to raise awareness around conservation and climate challenges. Her work has been featured on both local and international television documentaries, bringing wider attention to her environmental message and artistic process.

Janet was elected a finalist in the 2021 State of the Art Gallery Award, featured among the Top 100 artists in the 2025 Sasol New Signatures Exhibition, and received an award at the 2025 South African Plastics Recycling Organisation Awards for her environmental contributions.
