Tualatin Valley Artists Now Showing The Art of Janet Raymound
Janet Raymond
Her earilest memory of making art was when she was five years old, laying on the kitchen floor, coloring with crayons on a large, white piece of butcher paper. She never stopped scribbling and daubing. She was horse crazy in her early school years. Her Mom would complain, "every piece of paper has a part of a horse drawn on it!" She did not take her art seriously enough to make it into a career though. She was content just having it as a stress relief; a private place of refuge. Now she painst mostly in watercolor or pen and ink. She lovse bright strong colors but does not have a favorite color. She loves them all. She like to do landscapes, florals, still-life and animals. She is a contemporary colorist and wants her pictures to evoke a feeling, more than an exact replication. Janet is mostly self-taught; she has been guided, supported and encouraged by her many friends. Janet has continously produced art throughout her life. She can't imagine living without making art in her life.
Janet Raymond is a new member of Tualatin Valley Artist and is now showing her work at Influence Gallery.
