Artist Statement
Janet is a self-taught painter who began working in fine art as an adult. The inspiration for her paintings comes from many sources. Often it is from a photo of a particular scene to which she was attracted or with abstracts, it is often a focus on how the paint reacts or what it can show her when mixed or used in various ways. Her paintings are also influenced by other artists and mentors whose work she admires. Janet enjoys thinking about composition, light, and the feeling it evokes in a particular place and time.
As with most artists, Janet believes that painting teaches her a great deal about herself – what she is feeling and trying to achieve at a moment in time. Janet does not focus on only one technique or subject matter. She hopes her work portrays a need and curiosity for continuous learning and transition as an artist.
