Janette Dye

Janette Dye

Born in England, in 1962, Janette Dye grew up in a quaint village on the outskirts of the industrial NW city of Manchester, amongst thriving contrasts of the working class and the privileged. These constant changes in movement, growth, and vitality were strong influences on the artist from an early age. It was at this time that Janette started regular instructions from the world-renowned English painter, Harold Riley. Thus began the start of a lifelong dream.

Later on, Dye was inspired by the works of Riley's mentor, L.S. Lowry, who was known for his paintings of Northern factories and laborers, reflecting the artist's family history. Dye's fascination with the power of a single painted line led her to explore abstract art, which has become a defining aspect of her work. Her artwork has been exhibited throughout the United States.

All artworks by artist


Born in 1962 in England, Janette Dye spent her early years in a picturesque village on the outskirts of Manchester. Growing up amidst the contrasting realities of the working class and the privileged, she was exposed to constant movement, growth, and vitality. These early experiences greatly influenced her artistic sensibilities. Dye's passion for painting was ignited when she began receiving regular instructions from the renowned English painter Harold Riley. Though considered too young for his classes, she was allowed to enroll after much persistence, as her brother was already receiving instruction.<

Later on, Dye was introduced to the works of Riley's mentor, L.S. Lowry, who was known for his paintings of Northern factories and laborers. These images deeply resonated with Dye, as Lowry was able to capture the emotions of the workers and factories through stylized forms. Her fascination with the power of a single painted line led her to explore abstract art, which soon began to influence her approach to everyday life. The artist says of her work, “As each painting has a new beginning so we too can experience something new every day.”

While studying at an art college in Manchester, Dye mainly worked with charcoal, emphasizing the negative space to highlight the shape and size of the line and sensibility. After moving to the United States, she combined her earlier life experiences from the UK with her new creative direction, resulting in a unique style that emphasizes balance and simplicity.

Dye's boldest work seduces the viewer with dynamic compositions and color sensitivity, creating a distinctive visual vocabulary. In recent years, she has been fortunate enough to work with artists such as DOWNS, who was mentored by Karl Benjamin and Frederick Hammersley. Her artwork has been exhibited throughout the United States.
