"The Art of Nature"


CONCEPTION 2 REALITY ART SI ERIES, showing photo references to paintings
 
Series #27. Lighthouse Beach: On a clear day

When I was living in Evanston I loved to frequent this beach. As you can see from the photo, my painting is stylized. I wanted to capture the beauty of the waves splashing on the shore, without the dead branches, etc. On a clear day you feel like you can see forever.

Painter primarily specializing in the authentic representation of

AUTHENTICITY  *  CAPTURING REAL MOMENTS IN TIME  *  STYLIZED REALISM

"All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it."
- Claude Monet

"I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart."
- Vincent Van Gogh

Her two favorite artists are Monet and Van Gogh. They most inspired Janet while travelling in Europe and visiting museums.


​After visiting countless art galleries and museums in Europe from 2 1/2 years of travel around the world, just before turning 21 years of age, Janet discovered her passion for art and an unknown innate ability, which inspired her artistic pursuit.

Acrylic paintings are based on authentic scenes, drawn freehand or untraced
. She showcases nature in its truest form. Digital hand paintings were produced from 2015-2016. Her current Fine Art Collection, was created from January of 2017 to the present.

​​Series #14, Orchids, Orchid Wonders #20
Gallery Wrap, Acrylics on Canvas
12" x 24" x 1.5"

I have now been to 5 exhibits of orchid shows at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I used to have an image of  what orchids look like. Little did I know that there are over 25,000 documented species and more being discovered every year. It is widely accepted that orchids hold the title for the largest number of species amongst the flower families. I select my favorites to focus on and paint. I have enough subject matter to last a lifetime. I hope you enjoy this journey with me. They brighten up any room!

Why gallery wraps?

Favorite Inspiration:
 "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was." - Richard L. Evans
"No one can go back and make a brand new start, my friend, but anyone can start from here and make a brand new end."
​ - Dan Zandra

"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." - Agnes Repplier
"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." - Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"To thine own self be true." 
- William Shakespeare

What is,
is more extraordinary
 than what could be. The beauty in nature and all of existence, lies in its essence. It is always ever changing, but consistent, boundless, perfect and cohesive.
