Janet Botes
Art in Cape Town

Assemblage, mixed media, found objects, conceptual work, carvings and wire work. Paintings, Drawings, Collage and other work on wood, canvas and found surfaces. I’ll be hibernating, planning, creating, and having an adventure. Janet Botes is a visual artist based in South Africa. Her work is inspired by the natural rhythms of the Earth and by taking into consideration how deep ecology, biology, the Gaia theory and our daily lives intertwine. The environmental crisis is an urgent prompt for us to live in harmony with the planet, animals, each other and the land. These include Land Art, drawing, painting, mixed media work, installation art, and sculpture. With an intuitive, exploratory approach to art, my work ranges from detailed ink drawings to performative actions and installations in urban-, gallery- and outdoors spaces. My online shop usually offers limited edition prints, design items as well as original art that includes paintings, drawing and mixed media work. Creative Art workshops Facilitation of creative classes and workshops in different studios and spaces. My work is varied and created with a variety of techniques and approaches. Some of my artworks are created as part of a series, while other works are once-off creations.
