Janet Sawyer
Janet Sawyer is exhibiting work at the Blue Mountain Gallery from April 23 to May 18, 2024. The exhibition is entitled “lost trees” and consists of six large works on canvas, including a 48 x 144” triptych and a 48 x 96” diptych. There are also 18 works on paper. Painted over the past 25 years, the trees that were the subjects of the paintings are gone now. The Monterey pine was in Berkeley California and went down in a mudslide, the pitch pines of eastern Long Island are being decimated by southern pine beetles, and the beloved cherry and willow trees were cut down by new property owners who bought Sawyer’s former house in Montauk New York. The works that the trees inspired have not previously been exhibited and are being presented now.
Janet Sawyer was born in
