Janet Cook-Rutnik

Eclectic and intuitive works in a variety of media

Janet's manner of working is eclectic and intuitive, strongly influenced by the metal works of the late American sculptor Richard Stankiewicz.

His well-known pieces, although abstract, ultimately referred back to nature or people.

Janet felt a strong sense of freedom of expression as she worked as a sculptor, but a deep love of colour and the sensuous quality of paint continually drew her back to this traditional medium.

She has resided in St. John since 1969, continually absorbing the intense beauty of the island's colour and culture as shown in the unique and original works of the natural and native landscape. Janet has exhibited extensively in the U.S. Virgin Islands, France, Germany, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic and her pieces are part of numerous private collections at home and abroad
