Janet Hamilton
Amethyst Surprise, Abstract Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Hamilton presents a contemporary abstract painting with a striking gradation of colors. It features a textured surface crafted through thick layers of paint applied with drywall knives. The repetitive, linear strokes, combined with the seamless transition from cream to purple, give motion and depth to the composition.


About the Artist
Artist Janet Hamilton creates heavily-textured abstracts with multiple layers of color that reflect the emotional depth of her passion-filled process. She demonstrates a mastery over color choice, with each palette evoking specific moods and emotions. Her linear gradations have become a technique she has been exploring endlessly. Janet’s ideas come to fruition at an office space in her home that she now uses as a studio. She paints with knives to build depth and stacks the paint in rhythmic striped patterns. She expresses geometric designs in a structured cacophony of energetic abstractions using her spontaneity and youthful spirit. Janet has shown her artwork in several exhibitions and featured in many private establishments throughout the United States. Janet spends her precious time outside the studio with her two loving children.

Olive Press, Abstract Oil Painting
By Morgan Fite
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Morgan Fite utilizes palette knives to create subtle, feathery layers in this abstract piece. "I was inspired by the olive tree, an unexpected evergreen whose fruit, much like us, undergoes immense crushing and pressing in order to produce its cherished oil."


About the Artist
Abstract artist and Tennessee-native Morgan Fite paints delicate compositions that allude to natural forms and changing light. She paints with neutral tones and feathery brushstrokes that give her art its soft and dreamlike quality. She is inspired by her travels and cites the earthy tones of Central Africa and the textures of Roman architecture as particularly influential. For each piece, she begins her process by selecting a color palette from her collection of flowers and rocks. Throughout her portfolio, Morgan strives to make art that invites, moves, and inspires.
