Janet Sadel arrived in Vancouver one year ago. Her skills as a photographer have been refined with over 25 years of artistic practice, teaching and exhibitions. Janet has pursued an interest in traditional photographic techniques. Hand tinting her original black and white photographs is her passion. This time honoured technique results in a delicate and nostalgic look that entirely suits images of antiques, older buildings and structures, collections of nostalgia and pastoral/ botanical scenes. As well as traditional image creation, Janet has produced a series of images that she's titled: "Rain Where". Exploring the urban landscape through the impressionistic patterns of rain-soaked windshield. "Through the filter of the rains, there are moments of wondrous fantasy and surreal expression in even the most mundane scenes." Trained in art schools in New York City, Jerusalem and Toronto, Janet's finely honed sense of photo aesthetic and inspired viewpoint reveal unique visual explorations. Her photo art is both cerebral and personal. Janet's photographs are exhibited and collected in Europe, Canada and the U.S.A.
