Using a variety of techniques, she aims to create intuitive nature-inspired art with a unique earthy and aesthetic quality.
Janet Botes is an artist who works intuitively to express her appreciation for the sacredness, cycles, and biodiversity of the Earth in her art and workshops. Her work includes land art, installation art, drawings, paintings, mixed media, photography, digital art and assemblage – and often involves working as much outdoors as in the studio. Her conceptual focus primarily revolves around our place and connection within the web of life. Her first two solo exhibitions, Wild & Still: expressions of the landscape (2014) and ORGANISM (2016), were held at StateoftheArt Gallery in Cape Town. She’s been involved with projects and residencies that relate to art and the environment, including Site Specific, the Karoo Geoglyph Project, the Global Nomadic Art Project, Tankwa Artscape residency, Thupelo, and OPENLab. Her art is included in several corporate and private art collections.
