FEATURED ARTIST:

JANET BOTHNE

Janet Bothne has been ‘weaving’ color in her vibrant works for over three decades. Her focus on the paint itself being the subject matter has taken this former realist into a practice that balances gut vs. brain, chaos vs. organization and a zen-like approach which results in works that straddle the familiar and the enigmatic.

Bothne began her creative journey in Massachusetts, studying art from grade school through a short stint at the University Of Massachusetts at Amherst. Disillusioned at what the art curriculum had to offer at the time, she set out to make her mark outside of the academic world.  She went on to restore antiques, paint murals for businesses and draw portraits in pastel for numerous clients. She moved to Los Angeles in 1997 and worked as a graphic designer for a novelty company until 2001 when she felt compelled to quit her job and focus on her art. Eight years at the Santa Monica Art Studios led to multiple series of works and numerous exhibitions in venues such as The Santa Monica Art Museum, The Brand Library and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Sales Gallery. With the help of reps and galleries, her paintings were added to private & corporate collections around the world.

In 2013, she moved to New Mexico, opened “Studio J” in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and began teaching abstract painting to great response. She learned that offering guidance to new and emerging artists was an immensely rewarding endeavor. Needing to end the classes during covid, and consequently downsize her space, she returned to focusing on her own work and stretching her imagination with more experimentation and new materials.

“Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and while you might not realize it at the time, it’s the universe telling you it’s time to start a fresh chapter,” she says. “For me, it has also been an opportunity to find more balance in my life.”
