Janet Dyer

The River Below, Abstract Painting

2019

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer presents a view overlooking a river in northern Michigan. She captures the changing of the seasons of the lush landscape. Her abstract approach captures the energy of the image rather than immediate representational details. Janet executes a buoyant sense of motion with subtle impasto application.

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.
