Janet Hamilton

Solitude, Abstract Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
Rich blues and teal streaks suggest the depth of the sea, while cream and white accents mimic light piercing the water. Thick paint applied using drywall knives in a consistent and linear motion gives a heavy texture to the composition. It is a calming, abstract piece.

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.
