Janice Ledgerwood is a California-based multidisciplinary artist whose work examines how identity, behavior, and cultural meaning are shaped through systems of representation. Working across established and emergent media, her practice draws on popular culture, historical narratives, philosophy, feminist inquiry, and lived experience to explore how familiar forms carry and transmit social values over time.

An artist-educator, Ledgerwood is a tenured professor at Clovis Community College, where she teaches Photoshop through comics art, 2D animation and multimedia, and 3D animation and printing. She was a Polar STEAM Fellowship fellow, collaborating with research scientists to create a student-driven comic book addressing climate change in the Arctic. This work has been presented through both a poster and an oral presentation at the American Geophysical Union, reflecting her ongoing interest in bridging art, science, and public communication.

Outside the studio and classroom, Ledgerwood enjoys hiking in the Sierra Nevada, winter camping in Death Valley, practicing permaculture, attending music festivals, and spending time in experimental creative communities.
