Janet Fish is a contemporary American realist artist. Through oil painting, lithography, and screenprinting, she explores the interaction of light with everyday objects in the still life genre. Many of her paintings include elements of transparency, reflected light, and multiple overlapping patterns depicted in bold, high color values. She has been credited with revitalizing the still life genre.
For a long time, I kept working at part-time jobs... my goal was to build up enough savings so I wouldn't be kicked out on the streets if I didn't sell enough paintings.
There are a lot of tricks you have to keep playing on yourself to keep at it because every time you hit a problem you want to walk away.
I feel as though I haven't seen an object until I actually start painting it.
I think it is important to do what you believe in and ignore the critics.
For me, painting is like meditation.
I had this attitude that it was going to take time for my work to grow. I had to develop skills to do what I wanted and I didn't really expect it was going to happen rapidly.
