Janet Amiri, Los Angeles area award-winning sculptor and popular instructor, is best known for her life- size portraits. Sculpted first in clay, then cast in bronze, her work is exhibited in the L.A. area , New York and in Scottsdale, AZ.
“I sculpt to express my connection to the collective human condition; physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual. I sculpt to freeze in time pieces of the world I live in; my portraits are always of people I love or people who love my work intensely. I choose this medium because of its connection to the Renaissance period and the passionate artists of that time. Articulating spiritual connections to historical events, ancestry and culture captivate my intuition. When calligraphic illuminations weave threads of truth and revelation into the bronze imagery, I am satisfied the work is successful.”

In a couple hours I’ll be drawing again with Rich Brimer and the rest of the gang from the Thousand Oaks Figure Art Guild. It has been a fantastic group and I am glad to be back to the drawing board.

It has been a long time coming, but I finally have my own website that I can manage. I have always needed help creating and uploading the html pages. I am no web designer, so I decided to use Wordpress and have a blog based website. Now, when I am not in the studio, or teaching a class or visiting one of my kids, I can be writing and updating my very own website. Keep in touch by posting comments at the bottom of each post or page. I hope I enjoy this as much as my other friends with blogs says they do. ~Namaste Janet
