April/May 2014 Artist Spotlight winner www.janetlhamilton.com I am an abstract painter who works in oil and acrylic media. I’ve been painting for 18 years while living in Chicago. My artwork is a combination of vibrant colors, heavy textures and organic shapes. I simply try to create paintings that inspire emotions and create a mood. I love a good color palette and the element of surprise a texture can give. To me, art is an assortment of my personal feelings, the colors that inspire me and my materials and techniques. I’ve done my job as an artist if my artwork brings happiness to a home.
