Janet Fish

A Janet Fish painting is a celebration of light and color that continually delights the eye and engages the mind. Fish invigorates the still life form, both by the energetic way she paints and the often witty and ironic combinations of objects that she depicts. Glass bowls overflowing with fruit, exotic vases filled with vibrant flowers, sumptuous rugs and textiles, seashells, and a variety of flea market finds and edible treats are among the objects that are precisely arranged and rendered in decisive yet fluid strokes of intensely colored paint.

From her SPI recording:

"Painting is just my life, and it's just been the path I take, so it becomes very integrated. What's on the table for dinner might go into a painting. The gardens, you know, I get very involved in my garden, and the garden might have to be in the painting. I just sort of try to stay open to what's around me and what could make me feel like doing something."
