Featured Products

AK Black Currant is a small, woman owned business based in Anchorage, Alaska that specializes in original hand-painted home décor items. All items for sale are carefully painted with high quality acrylic paint by me the owner and artist, Janelle Sikorski.

I will have many wonderful creations to share with you as I continue to develop, grow, and refine AK Black Currant. However, I am excited to announce that my first product line focuses on plant accessories, specifically hand-painted clay planter pots and handmade wooden plant stands.

Everything Starts at Home!

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines home as:

Noun: 1) One’s place of residence. 2) A familiar or usual setting. 3) Place of origin.

To me, the word home transcends a physical structure or location. Home is a symbol of security and comfort. It can also be a place to dream, create, and entertain. A place to heal, recover, or hide. My art is driven by my journey to find home in the Alaskan wilderness. In fact, I refer to myself as being wildly domesticated! It is the tension between wanting to live in the wild where I feel most at home, and the requirements of modern society to conform to the ways of domestication that defines my creations.

It took moving to the Alaskan wilderness to find home.
