In 2002, Janice Hunt moved from New York City to northern Vermont
and rekindled and combined, through her art, her earliest interests,
art and animals. Drawing and painting farm animals deepened her
appreciation of the visual variety and psychological availability
of domesticated animals and helped her to narrow her focus, primarily,
to horse and bird imagery. "My current work is figurative and
my media are oil on canvas, oil on board, and pencil, gouache and
acrylic on paper," explains Hunt. "I enjoy looking at
animals in life and in art – I use my own animals, animals
I photograph locally, and in zoos and nature centers, as reference
for my work – and I enjoy the challenge of translating their
forms into paintings and drawings. Also, I appreciate that how we
see, interpret, and represent these animals speaks to our human
condition." |
