Janet Horne Cozens

Art Brokerage: Janet Horne Cozens Canadian Artist: Janet Horne Cozens began studying art at the age of two in Japan. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in Music Performance on violin, Janet returned as an adult student to the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD) to study Fine Art, while performing in the orchestra for the 10 year run of the Phantom of the Opera. Janet is a member of the Esprit Orchestra of Toronto, Canada's only full-sized orchestra that specializes in new music. She was recently featured as a soloist on the Mozart Effect CDs, released in 2016.These days she finds so many artists work from photographs, and they achieve remarkable degrees of realism. She does use photographs as reference material, to study how the petals of flower are shaped for example, but I prefer to work from sketches done in real life, whether it be people or plants. I therefore refer to my images as "interpretations" of objects and people, rather than representations. You will have to use your own judgement as to whether or not I have caught the essence of the subject without presenting an exact image. Listings wanted.
