One has to study a painting by Janice Sugg at varying distances to truly appreciate the incredible artistry. From afar you are struck by a beautiful image; it is only upon close inspection that the intricacy of texturing, wiping, blending and refining is revealed. Raised in Denver, Janice considers painting in the West to be her greatest privilege. The expansive horizons of the area frequently appear in her work, both metaphorically and physically. A line or form will appear and disappear, shifting, blending, twisting and turning. Horizontal banding and chromatic impressions built from the landscape emerge. Interleaving textures and unpredictable color palettes converge, resulting in breathtaking scenes, much like the views of the western United States.
