Artist’s Statement Growing up, I was surrounded by artists. My mother and brothers were working artists, and I was given the time, as well as the inspirational backdrop of the undeveloped Gulf Coast of Florida, to explore, imagine and create. The untouched beauty of the golden coastal lakes, transparent, turquoise ocean, and shimmering white sculpted sand dunes, taught me to value the solitude needed to nurture my imagination and creativity. Art became a language with which I could communicate what my heart held. Through my work, I explore my relationship to the world and express feelings through universal themes and ideas that present themselves to me visually long before I understand them with words. Wonder, joy, release, love and longing are a few ideas that reoccur in my work as I respond to the world around me. Janet Fagan-Smith grew up on the shores of Walton County, Florida, and has enjoyed living in Seattle since 1998. Educated at the Ringling School of Art and Design, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and the University of Pennsylvania, Janet focused on Painting, Printmaking, and Folklore. When Janet is not working in her studio, she also teaches drawing and painting, and enjoys playing the fiddle in a Contra Klezmer band, and as part of a four-piece Gypsy-Funk band, the “Catbirds”. Janet is represented by Gallery Fraga on Bainbridge Island, The Blue Horse Gallery in Bellingham, and Bohemia Gallery in Ashland, Oregon. 1.
