Studio Visit with Janet Slom

Spent the morning at the FAT Village studio of artist Janet Slom as she readies her space for the next FAT Village Art Walk (coming up Sat. 6/28). Slom heralds from South Africa and now lives in South Florida and Connecticut.

Slom's petite frame is in great contrast to her painting series Heaven on Earth -- gorgeous abstract canvases that measure about 9'x9' and require an intense choreography as part of their creation.

But she also works on the small scale; right now, there are delicate images installed (as seen above) in both soft color palettes and black & white. For collectors who don't have the high ceilings required to fit Heaven on Earth into their own spaces (or budgets), those sweet, smaller images may be just right for an authentic work of art from one of our local talents.

For more info or to arrange a studio visit go to Janet Slom on the web or Janet Slom on Facebook. Be sure to drop by her studio during the Art Walk -- she typically programs interactive experiences as part of her gallery installations.
