Janice Sugg
Bio
Janice studied art design at Loveland Academy, although she is primarily self-taught in both oil painting and pottery. She has exhibited nationally and internationally in solo and group art shows. Recently her work was featured in the Discerner magazine, out of the UK and the US. Last year Janice was invited to teach oil painting and to lecture at the Devonshire Art Center in Illinois. She is represented by Mirada Finearts in Indian Hills Colorado, Lovetts gallery in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Sorell Sky galleries, in Durango Colorado and Santa Fe, New Mexico. She recently was published and interviewed by Mountain Living magazine and featured in Luxe and The Discerner magazines. She resides full time in Colorado.
Artist Statement
My painting style incorporates a layering effect. It involves interleaving textures, blending colors and creating a subjective atmosphere within the imagery. I use unpredictable palettes—a spectrum of color that often challenges well-worn clichés (the sky is blue, the land is green, etc.). The resulting layers are successively wiped and refined revealing a composite of underlying design.
My abstract western landscapes experiment with the concept of horizon—austere western prairie bonded with a shifting sky; the horizon twists and turns, rolls and flows like a physical entity. It smudges, it bleeds, it splinters, expands and contracts, appears and is gone.
