Martin, 2020, Mixed media on wood panel, 25”x19”
JANET H. COZENS
Janet Cozens’ portraits are not people she knows but characters that emerge from the paintings as
she works. Portraits to her are more than just a face. They reflect the inner thoughts and dreams of
a person. In these mixed media works, she tries to explore the personality of subjects through color,
texture and expression. Most of these works are layers of painted paper, paint and ink alternating
with layers of resin to give them a three dimensional effect. They incorporate my love of geometric
shapes and organic shapes at the same time.
