Janet Gilbert

Influenced by the landscape and my surroundings, a visit to the mountains in New Mexico has been revelatory, so different in so many ways to the countryside where I live in the UK.

I produce abstract or semi abstract work, experimenting with layering and mark making, initially in cloth and stitch, and more recently also with paint (and sometimes stitch too).  The build-up of layers transform places, views and moods part remembered, with the intent of achieving an emotional response to the memories of the landscape that surrounded me.

Never a purist, I enjoy working with different processes and media, bringing these together in surprising ways.

Available for: talks, workshops and demonstrations
