About Janni Menn

Janni’s creative journey began in childhood, growing up in an artistic household. Her mother was a gifted artist and her father a professional photographer, so it’s no surprise that visual storytelling runs in her blood. Though she initially pursued photography and object design, she later trained as a social worker – a profession that, unexpectedly, rekindled her love for drawing.

What began as a form of emotional expression soon evolved into something more. Encouraged by friends and inspired by life’s quiet moments, Janni started sharing her work online – and the response was immediate. Her calming, contemplative style resonated widely, quickly earning her a loyal audience and a place among the top artists on GoodMood Prints.

Janni’s Artistic Style

Janni Menn’s work is best described as thoughtful minimalism. Her illustrations embrace soft palettes, organic shapes, and gentle compositions, often drawing inspiration from everyday life, nature, and moments of introspection.

Her goal is simple yet profound: to create art that comforts, connects, and quietly tells a story. Whether it’s a subtle abstract or a warm landscape, each piece invites the viewer to pause and reflect.
