Janet Rockware, artist

Gallery on Main's "Artist of the Month" series continues with an exhibition of works by Annandale, New Jersey-based artist Janet Rockware, on view July 1 through 30. Admission is free, and the artist’s works are available for purchase.

Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, July 7, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm

An accomplished artist, Rockware was inspired by abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock’s drip method of painting. Born and raised in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, she has avidly been plying her artistic talents for 40-plus years. Her artistic talents are broad reaching in mediums, inclusive of watercolor, stencil work, acrylic, oil, ceramic, nature photography and, most recently, epoxy resin.

Finding the beauty in abstract art has a different meaning for each person appreciating it, Janet’s focus has currently been utilizing this form of composition as it is open to individual interpretation.
