In her solo show at Bowery Gallery, Janet Niewald exhibits a range of oil paintings representing several ongoing themes in her work: landscapes of interlacing trees and piles of detritus, still lifes of fossils, shells, skulls, and woven textiles, explore the relationships of natural to human-affected forms and spaces.  Three recent self-portraits show influences from the work of writers and scientists, including Elizabeth Kolbert, Sylvia Earle, and Suzanne Simard.

The artist lives in the Virginia mountains where she and her husband, ceramist David Crane, built their home and studios.  Niewald exhibits nationally and has had gallery representation in Richmond, Virginia; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Kansas City, Missouri.  Her work has been included in National Academy of Design invitationals, exhibitions at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Masur Museum, the Mint Museum, and the Taubman Museum, and in many university gallery/museum exhibitions. Niewald earned her BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA from Indiana University, Bloomington.  She taught in the School of Visual Arts at Virginia Tech University where she received the Career Achievement Award from the College of Architecture and Urban Studies.  She is the recipient of a number of awards including a Ford Foundation Grant, and is a member of the Midwest Paint Group.
