GRAPHIC DESIGNER, ARTIST & ENVIRONMENTALLY ENGAGED ARTIST
Janina Rossiter (Nina Rossiter) is a French-German award-winning environmental artivist, author, and illustrator committed to protecting the ocean through visual storytelling and children’s literature. Her work raises awareness about marine pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change, blending art and advocacy to inspire action.
Her work has been showcased at major international environmental events, including the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, the UN Ocean Conference side events Tidal Shifts and WOW25 in Nice, ChangeNOW at the Grand Palais in Paris, POLITICO’s Sustainable Future Week in Brussels, and IMPAC5 in Vancouver. These events highlight artists who use creativity to inspire action on ocean and climate issues.
Janina is represented by galleries across continents, including Artsper, a leading European platform for contemporary art, and Yallingup Galleries in Western Australia. She is also a member of the Explorers Club, a prestigious global organization dedicated to scientific exploration and field research. Her distinctive style combines minimalist design, symbolic marine illustrations, and science-based themes to communicate urgent environmental messages in a visually accessible way.
She is also a multi-award-winning and Amazon bestselling author whose books engage young readers in ecological protection and sustainability. Titles like Diamonds, Hearts & Sea Stars!, 123 Who’s Cleaning the Sea?, and Green and Blue, Planet Ocean, Me and You! have each received the Book Excellence Award in the Environment category.
As a speaker, Janina has visited many international schools, leading creative workshops that raise awareness of ocean threats and promote behaviour changes to protect the planet. She believes that art creates a universal language—one that speaks across cultures and ages to connect us in the fight for a healthier Earth.
“In 2018, I said I was just a mum who worried about our planet’s future. Today, I say I’m an artivist—protecting the Earth with all my heart and art.”
This illustration was initially created for The Marine Diaries to help them with their ecosystem project 'The Marine Ecosystem Diaries' and with the approval of Rebecca Daniel I sent the mangrove illustration to Explorers Against Extinction so it could raise money to protect wildlife. Since then it has gone on its own little journey. I'm still blown away and extremely thankful. It was exhibited 2 weeks in the leaders lounge at COP26, won the wild spaces award and is hanging at the OXO gallery in London until the end of November.
