| Janet Strayer | |
)

I was lucky to be raised and educated in New York City after immigrating as a child from Germany. I have traveled and worked most of my life: in the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the MidEast, Southeast Asia. And I have been influenced by these shifting geographies of earth, sea and mind. |
| About the Artist | |
My artwork is driven by life around and within, its celebration and its grief, by history and moment, by love of art, literature, and our impossible humanity. My work deals with the inner and outer realities of being human and alive in a living and changing world.I choose to work in different styles to express moments of memory and mood, anticipation and imagination. Subjective and objective content mix in my works. My methods employ traditional drawing, etching and painting techniques as well mixed media and digital (computer) artwork. My works range from whimsical to probing. |

| Education and biography | |
| I have been a university professor and researcher in developmental psychology by profession, an artist by love and training, and an explorer and humanist by inclination. I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University way back, majoring in history with a minor in art history. I got a Fulbright Fellowship to study in Latin America (thank you, America), started grad school in history, switched to psychology, left for Canada where I got a PhD and became a full professor, left the university, studied at ateliers and art schools, and became an artist. I've studied and graduated from programs in drawing, painting, and printmaking at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, the Advanced Institute of Capilano, the Academy of Realist Art Toronto, the Gage Academy in Seattle ,and at the Instituto Allende and Bellas Artes in Mexico. |
