Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer displays an expressionist landscape view of a Mediterranean forest. She paints the temperate shrubland on a warm summer afternoon. Janet paints the composition in simplified yet strong strokes of her brush. The radiant blue sky contrasts with the shaded tan of the dry grassy biome.

About the Artist
Janet Dyer doesn’t like to spend too much time talking about her art, as she’d rather be creating it. She doesn’t have an artist statement, the traditional statement of purpose crafted by visual artists to explain their method. On becoming an artist, Janet simply states, “I picked up some crayons and pencils and brushes and kept using them.” She believes the process of creating art is equal in importance to the final product. The artist enjoys relinquishing control of her paintings to find delightful surprises in her so-called “mistakes.” Janet's expressively gestural yet bucolic landscapes are a testament to the success of her method.
