About
Artist Statement
Janet Picard's recent oil paintings are inspired by the Vermont landscape, the dunes of Cape Cod, a fascination with color and the act of painting. Merging actual places with imagined visions we are transported into a fantastical world that is pulsating with energy and mystery.
Viewing these large paintings we become a part of the trees, rocks, foliage, flowers, and crevices that form places that are in a state of continual change and evolution. A spiritual reverence, a sense of exploration, and a melodic grace form moments already in transition.
