Janet Strayer

Abstract and Imaginatively Representational artworks that celebrate life's diversity.The focus is upon lyrical and dramatic moments of interaction between our inner and outer worlds -- where beauty is seen in many unusual forms.
As an artist, I revel in the sensually dynamic qualities of paint and colour and wish for my work to connect with others in ways that enliven the senses, experience, and imagination.
My art studio (open to visitors) is on magical Saturna Island, B.C., where I create works that have won some awards, appeared in news and media, and are part of private and public collections in several parts of the world.
