NIGHT IN THE GARDEN: HIDDEN WORLDS
Paintings by Janet Wold
What attracted us to Janet and made us want to show her was the lushness of her images. Paintings of jungles and gardens are thick with all manner of plants and creatures. Meditative and serene, you can spend hours on safari hunting for the hidden bugs and creatures hiding amongst the foliage.
Janet describes her process like this: "I paint and sculpt mainly from my imagination. I create a story in my mind, and then I try and create it on canvas or in clay."
The other thing that we really enjoy is that Janet breaks the norm and deliberately composes on interestingly shaped canvases: narrow vertical or horizontal rectangles. This can create wonderfully alive compositions. Another bonus is that these paintings can fit perfectly into any home with an odd narrow wall between, say, a couple of doors or a tight corner. Join us and see the world that comes from this beautiful imagination!
