Janet Trierweiler

My passion for gestural abstract painting is reflected by my focus on the sensual nature of art and the healing aspect of beauty. The acceptance of paradox has been one of the most healing lessons of my life. My process reflects this attitude. It is both fluid and structural, organic and geometric, improv and laborious design. For me, painting is the challenge of bringing together what is seen and what is felt as one integrated unified whole.
