Spring: Tricia Sellmer & Janet Waterhouse in dialogue is an interchange between two artists who strive to capture the intrinsic beauty of diverse elements within the shifting landscape through entirely different painting styles and medium. Waterhouse works with great accuracy and a scientific eye as well as a delicate and deft hand. Sellmer's images come from a visceral and emotional interpretation.
A botanical artist originally from England, Janet Waterhouse has exhibited her delicate watercolour yet scientific renderings across Canada and at the Royal Horticultural Society, London, England. Largely self-taught Janet Waterhouse is a member of several botanical artist societies, including the American Society of Botanical Artists. Her love of flora and nature is clearly evident in her paintings. Janet Waterhouse's exquisite and gentle images remind us of the refinement and sensitive interplay between colour and the softness of touch and the strength of line. She was an integral part of the 2012 project Connecting the Dots. Chazou Gallery is proud to present her work.
