A printmaker as well as a painter, this early collagraph on archival paper is part of the artist's collection and resides in her home. Created intuitively with rough materials easily on hand (string, bits of paper), and printed by hand using a large press in Mexico, a tapestry-like effect is created. This work remains a beacon for some of her future pieces, including large assemblage artworks.

Vancouver, British Columbia
Sensual qualities colour and gesture mingle with a vibrant imagination to infuse Janet Strayer's Abstract and Imaginative artworks with an intelligent vitality. Given her commitment to lifespan development as researcher, professor, and artist, her works often express moments of physical and psychological insight and change.
"I seek to express lyrical and dramatic moments of contact and contrast between reality and imagination -- the vitality of being alive to inner and outer worlds."
