Janet Hamilton (b. 1970) is a contemporary abstract painter in Nashville, TN.  Her work is deeply inspired by color and the relationships that develop from its interactions. She creates heavily-textured, multi-layered, mixed-media paintings using mostly oil paints, acrylics, beeswax, marble dust, spray paint, and found paper. Throughout her portfolio, she demonstrates a mastery over color choice; each palette creates a specific emotion and mood. Using drywall knives instead of brushes to create depth, she stacks the paint in a rhythmic, sometimes chaotic pattern adding layer after layer.  Interested in making a simple landscape a little bolder or a geometric design come to life, she finds expression in the structured chaos and creates these energetic, intuitive abstracts using her spontaneity and youthful spirit.  Janet has exhibited her artwork in numerous shows and is featured in many private establishments across the United States.
