Janice Elaine Sivertson began painting in Bay City, Wisconsin in 1975. Her professional work began in the early 1980s with oils and watercolors and has more recently concentrated on a mixed media of watercolor and collage. Elaine was born in Kansas, spent many years in Wisconsin, and now lives and works in her studio on the shores of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, MN. ARTIST'S STATEMENT I paint to communicate serenity and tranquillity as it is expressed to me by the world in which I live. The forest, the shore and Lake Superior constantly impress me with their many moods. Mixed qualities of light, water and color fascinate me just as they have since I first encountered them in my north shore home. I am inspired by my immediate surroundings of town and country to capture the constant changing of perspectives in a variety of media.
My paintings range from realism to semi-abstraction and reveal my use of mixed media and collage. I am challenged by working with color, image, texture and collage until my paintings come to life for me. I believe the process of developing a work allows me to communicate my emotional involvement with the subject matter.
Most of my painting is completed in my studio. Weather influences where I can work, so although some work is done in the field I find that I usually bring the subject into my studio by way of sketches and photos. There I seek to create in my paintings a sense of peace which I can offer to an often hectic world.
