About Me

I'm Janet,

My art practice, which is primarily painting and printmaking, is where my imagination communes with memory and optimism.

I spend a lot of time out in nature as a long-distance runner and skier, and this is what gives me inspiration.

As I paint, I juxtapose specificity with ambiguity to allow viewers to assign their own personal projections to my work.

My belief in the intrinsic worth of wild lands informs my art practice as does my intention to connect people with nature.

My desire is to forge connections with those who view my work by endeavoring to represent the beauty of the natural world and the compassion of humanity.

At the core of my practice is giving back the love and gratitude I feel and hopefully instilling those feelings in others.

Here is a peek into my practice...

Exhibits

Creating art is about making connections and communicating. I am grateful for the partnerships I have with galleries and arts organizations that allow me to make these connections and build community. My work is currently on view at the Confluence Gallery in Twisp, WA; the Winthrop Gallery in Winthrop, WA and the Methow Gallery in the Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop, WA. I am also a member of Womens Painters of WA and my work is frequently on view in Seattle at the WPW Gallery in the Columbia Tower. For updates on current and upcoming exhibits, please sign up for my newsletter.

Giving Back

Gratitude leads my practice, and it is important to me to not only recognize the importance of what inspires me but to work to nurture and protect it. To this end I volunteer my time with organizations that provide access to art and wild lands for all. I want what I create to be affordable for people of all income levels and offering reproductions of my work is one way that I can do that while continuing to make a living as an artist. The teaching that I do is also shaped by my desire to give back. To this end I am honored to be able to provide opportunities for creative expression to those that need it most and have the least ability to access it.

My process

Painting and printmaking are the foundation of my practice. These two approaches to art perfectly complement each other and I often combine them in mixed media creations. I paint very intuitively – working from my heart, using memory and imagination. When I create a woodblock print I draw and plan the composition in advance and enjoy the meditative process of carving and hand printing each image. These two very different modes of working allow me to create layers of imagery using both media and express the depth of what I feel and want to communicate to my audience with joy and energy.
