Janette George

With a degree in Chemistry, I found my pathway to art via a circuitous route once my children were at school. I particularly love working with oils and I am drawn to expressing places I have has visited where light and colour interact to provide beauty - wide expansive skies, the hues of nature, reflections in water, textures, and layers. Working loosely, I often start with acrylics in a very fluid way. I then apply oils to create the depth and levels of colour, constantly blending and mixing the paint to produce the hue and texture needed.

As well as the artwork, I am also heavily involved with the organisation of Warwickshire Open Studios and their Summer Art Weeks as I have been Deputy Director for the last four years.
