Janet LaPelusa
Janet LaPelusa is an artist deeply inspired by the natural world, especially the beauty and serenity of ever-changing landscapes. Her work often begins with the fluidity of watercolor and expands into acrylics, where she builds rich, imaginative narratives. For her, a painting’s power lies in its composition and the palette that brings it to life.
Recurring themes in her work include skies, weather patterns, land, and sea—often with trees as central symbols, each one telling its own story. Her surroundings provide endless inspiration, particularly scenes with striking contrasts of light and shadow.
What sets her apart is her use of mixed media, blending watercolor with materials like markers, watercolor pencils, salt, sponges, and even everyday objects like onion bags to create captivating textures and depth.
Through each piece, LaPelusa aims to evoke feelings of hope, joy, and calm, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find meaning in nature’s quiet wonders.
