COLLABORATIONS
As a multidisciplinary Artist and Storyteller, I have a wide variety of skills ranging from painting, graphic design, scientific illustration, photography, public speaking and creative writing. I enjoy working in all these areas and am always open to a new and exciting challenge!
Below you will find my most recent collaborations with other brands, businesses or organisations. I am very proud to work with a variety of clients whose work and ethics are aligned with my own, as I always try to ensure that my collaborators are passionate about marine conservation, environmental awareness and visual storytelling.
"The Skulls Project" represents a dynamic, long-term partnership dedicated to education and outreach focusing on the intricate anatomy of sharks, particularly their chondrocranium (skulls).
This collaborative endeavour merges the expertise of Janavi and Bimini Shark Lab, a renowned institution with three decades of dedicated research on Bimini's shark population, and Seisho Song, a specialist in shark anatomy. Together, their mission is to illuminate the lesser-known realm of shark science, highlighting the individual species inhabiting the waters surrounding Bimini.
By delving into the complexities of shark cranial structures, the project aims to enhance public awareness and understanding. Sharks, with their unparalleled adaptations, represent one of the planet's most unique and finely tuned species. By making knowledge about their fascinating anatomies more accessible, the project seeks to empower individuals to contribute effectively to their conservation efforts.

Limited Edition Prints of the Great Hammerhead Skulls are available and support Bimini Shark Lab with 10% of profits donated directly towards their invaluable work and contribution to shark conservation.

Janavi was approached to create a piece of artwork for The Crown Estate to celebrate their 10th Anniversary. The artwork created showcased an ecosystem that celebrated all the beautiful and diverse marine life that inhabit our British coast and illustrated how sustainable energy can not only coexist with them but also support a healthier planet in the long term.
The event was held to not only celebrate their incredible achievements in collecting marine data over the last 10 years but also thank their partners and collaborators that contribute from offshore industries and share their survey data too.
After learning more about their work over the last few weeks, it’s clear that the MDE are providing such a valuable and innovative approach to marine data, and the underlying message that collaboration is key to make progress in the world of conservation and sustainability- a message that I’m very proud to be associated with through my work.
Deep Connection is an original watercolour painting portraying a shiver of Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks. The piece was created for Oceanic 31, a collaborative initiative with the Shark Trust. The project seeks to showcase the diverse array of oceanic species whose existence is on the verge of extinction.
As apex predators, sharks play a critical role in maintaining equilibrium in the marine ecosystem. Yet this iconic species, and many others, are disappearing from our ocean at an alarming rate as a result of human interference. Through Deep Connection, you are beckoned to behold these majestic creatures and experience the profound sense of connection felt when in their presence. Using art as a catalyst, this piece calls viewers to action to advocate for the protection of these vulnerable species and inspire positive change.
Natural England are the Government's advisers for the natural environment in England, to help protect and restore the natural world.
Below and Beyond Art has partnered with NE to create artwork as part of the 'Hidden Seas Project' to highlight the thriving and diverse ecosystems on the British Coast.
The focus of this piece was to showcase 'The Wash' ecosystem which is home to a unique species - the Ross Worm ( Sabellaria spinulosa ). As a member of the Sabellariidae family, they create unusual tube-like structures from sand and shell fragments. Under certain circumstances, these structures can form reef habitats, crucial for the surrounding habitat which can use them as shelter from harsh conditions.
Below and Beyond Art has had the opportunity to collaborate with the largest female international diving community. Girls That Scuba is dedicated to empowering women through creating a safe space where women from all over the world can connect and share advice, tips and offer support to one another. As a diver myself, this community has been very influential so it is a privilege to partner with them and create striking digital pattern designs for some one their most popular products such as dry robes and mask straps.
