janet Hamilton

Hendersonville, Tennessee

Janet Hamilton is a contemporary abstract painter in Nashville, TN.  Her work is deeply inspired by color and the relationships that develop from its interactions. She creates heavily textured and multi-layered, mixed-media paintings using oil paints, acrylics, beeswax, spray paint, and found paper. Using knives instead of brushes to create depth, she stacks the paint in a rhythmic, sometimes chaotic pattern. 

Throughout her portfolio, she demonstrates a mastery over color choice; each palette creates a specific emotion and mood, with the many layers to reflecting the depth of her passion-filled process. Interested in the challenge of making a simple landscape a little bolder or a geometric design come to life, she finds expression in the structured chaos that creates these energetic, intuitive abstracts which reflect her spontaneity and youthful spirit.
