The Artistic Journey of Janet Waring Rago
Janet Waring Rago is a UK-based artist whose creative journey is deeply intertwined with her unique living and working environment. Residing in a listed former chapel alongside her husband, fellow artist Alexis Rago, Janet finds profound inspiration in the chapel's architecture and atmosphere, which have significantly influenced her work over the years. With a background in botany and a postgraduate education in Florence, Italy, Janet's art is a fusion of scientific logic and artistic freedom. Her practice is a reflection of her quest to portray a connection with nature, both internally and externally. Janet approaches painting as a form of cultivation, an adaptive system that is alive and evolving. Her artistic philosophy, "pictopoiesis," merges painting and poetry, creating a boundless field of possibility. Janet's work is a testament to her belief in the regenerative and transformative potential of art, extending beyond the physical to the digital realm, where it can continuously evolve.
