Janet Botes

My work is inspired by a love for nature as theme and source point. I enjoy working in a variety of different techniques, sizes and mediums, using different approaches to achieve textures, forms and compositions that express the essence of the natural landscape. My work begins in the landscape, or sometimes the urban environment. I explore, play and photograph outside, before returning to the studio where my impressions, and found materials, are transformed. My art is seated in a deep belief that we need to learn to live in harmony with our earth.
