About the Artist: |
|
|
 |
Antoinette M. Janecki
paints a variety of subjects but is best known for her vivid
citiscapes and dramatic marine paintings. A resident Soho artist,
she captures on paper and canvas the best of her two worlds -
New York City where she lives and the waters off Greenport Long
Island where she keeps her sailboat "H2O Color". |
Her artistic career began in
1983 with watercolors. Later a magazine article inspired her
to try pastels and she loved them! Her very first pastel "Staten
Island Ferry" was accepted into the 1991 Pastel Society
of America's annual show . The first of several pastels to be
accepted into national exhibitions.

Antoinette likes to work in series and on
location "en plein air".

Inspired by Impressionist Claude Monet, she
even traveled to his home in Giverny France to paint the same
ponds and gardens. Primarily self-taught, she also has studied
with Master Pastelist Richard Pionk at The Art Students League
in NYC.

Antoinette's work has been on exhibit in several
NYC Galleries. She was also the poster artist in May of 1998
for the Garrison Art Center's "Artist on Location"
