JANET DUNCAN
My world has always been about people and places. As a geographer, I have traveled extensively, and I have always enjoyed teaching my students about other people and places. It is not surprising that the same theme runs through my art. I try to capture the essence of a place through the built environment or the people within it.
I am interested in shapes and colors. I enjoy simplifying forms into flat, two-dimensional spaces that have interesting arrangements whether they involve people or the man-made environment. I am attracted to geometric rather than naturalistic form. I am also very responsive to color which I use to convey my emotional response to the subject.
Most of my work is in watercolor, although I sometimes use oils and acrylics. I enjoy the other mediums but most of all I like the velvety, flat, intense color I can achieve in watercolor. Transparent watercolor yields the most exciting colors but increasingly I am using opaque watercolors to mix more subtle variations of color. My painting technique involves using very little water which means that in some ways it differs little from using oil or acrylic.
