“The Lenormand Snake” Original Tarot Card Watercolor by Janie Kruse Garnett 2020

Details Details Close Description My practice is one of observation and imagination. I paint primarily from life, referencing my heritage and found objects as a starting point. I’m drawn to the stories these objects hold and the journey that they undertake, being passed down as heirlooms and then perhaps discarded by a new generation. Central to my still lifes is the table, a symbol of community, a nexus of sharing, and care, highlighting the roles women have traditionally played in nurturing and sustaining communities and families. Beyond the intimate narratives, my paintings utilize floral imagery, textile patterns, and the tradition of quilting, exploring the intricate dance between art and craft, questioning the boundaries and enduring hierarchies that continue to place importance on certain things over others. less DIMENSIONS 12ʺW × 0.75ʺD × 16ʺH STYLES Expressionism ART SUBJECTS BotanicStill Life FRAME TYPE Unframed PERIOD 2020s COUNTRY OF ORIGIN United States ITEM TYPE New MATERIALS Oil Paint CONDITION Mint Condition, No Imperfections COLOR Purple TEAR SHEET See less
