Janet Walerstein Winston

Painter and printmaker Janet Walerstein Winston writes:

“Nature is my muse. The colors and atmospherics of the natural world are the initial sources that inspire me. The play of colors and textures, gestures and forms, is the source for my interpretations. The final images may be recognizable as a distinct form or may end as a complete abstraction. Most of my work relates to shapes and space in nature or geometric forms found in architecture. Color is the driving force throughout.”
