JANET TAYLOR
After completing a BFA at Queen's University, Janet pursued a career in graphic design, interactive media and photography. In 2016 she returned to fine art and has been building her studio practice since then. Using layers of acrylic, graphite, pigment and crayon to build texture and depth, Janet draws upon her accumulated vocabulary of gestures to make marks on the painting, and then responds to those marks in an ongoing conversation with the work. Janet’s visual language is an expression of not just the world around her, but also of the interactions, time, sound, data, even narrative that she encounters, all synthesized into pieces that are the visual residue of her engagement with the world and its stories. After many years in the Toronto area, Janet recently moved her studio to the scenic Muskoka area of Ontario, Canada.
