Artist Statement
for
Janet L Pirozzi
Janet Pirozzi grew up in New York and moved to the Pacific northwest before settling in Reno in 1981. She loves the freedom of the desert and the warmth of the sun.
After spending years in the public and private sector, Janet turned to visual journaling as a way to reduce stress. Through her journaling and meditation practices, she has been able to get in touch with her feelings and give voice to her soul. Her art brings the true essence of her soul to life.
Janet is inspired by Surrealists and Expressionists such as:: Miro, Kandinsky, Chagall, Picasso, O’Keeffe, and Munch. She has attended workshops sponsored by Yosemite Association, St. Mary’s Art Center, Nevada Museum of Art, Breitenbush Hot Springs, and Esalen.
A relative newcomer to the art world, Janet’s work has been shown in Carson City at the King Street Gallery and Nevada State Library and the Esoteric Gallery in Reno. A recent retiree, Janet hopes to spend more time on her art.
Best regards!
