Artist Bio:
Janese Deitch is a self-taught landscape oil painter who lives and works in Dallas, Texas. She began painting in 2004 and has continued to learn and evolve as a painter. Landscapes in particular are a favorite subject matter, and her photographs and observations of nature, become future paintings.
Artist Statement:
I feel peace and gratitude when in nature and express that feeling within my art. I am inspired by natural landscapes, color, and form. I enjoy how the process allows me to disconnect from everything except for the canvas in front of me. Painting is a lifetime pursuit filled with challenges, discovery and joy.
I’m also passionate about helping children and those less fortunate and donate all proceeds from my art to charities such as Family Gateway, North Texas Food Bank, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center and Incarnation House. As I continue to grow and develop my style, follow me on Instagram @janesedeitchpaints.
