Artist Profile - Sitka Creations.com
January 6, 2011
New York, NY — Sitka Creations is happy to have met NYC artist Janet Restino through the American Business Women’s Association in NYC.
By Michala Smith
Philadelphia native Janet Restino came to New York in the early 1980′s. Throughout her career, she’s been a true “Jill of all trades.” Ms. Restino’s first love was music, which in turn ignited her passion for painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography. Her favorite subjects in the visual arts are nature and the human figure. Ms. Restino also finds the concept of “peace” an inspiration for her work; the birds, the sun shining, the grass growing, the quietness of a Sunday morning are all platforms for art in her eyes. She is also an accomplished composer. An avid songwriter, comic, poet, and singer, Ms. Restino has put on several shows in Manhattan; the last being at the Cherry Lane Theatre this past summer. In the visual arts, she loves to fuse together her media, combining poetry and song lyrics with her images. She prints and publishes many of her images on blank note cards, apparel and print using various methods such as lithography, woodcuts, etching and silkscreen. The discerning shopper will find her pieces around Manhattan, particularly in shops in the Theater District. Ms. Restino
describes herself as instinctual, intuitive, and sometimes impulsive—all of which are clearly evident in her dynamic and inspiring work.
You can email Ms. Restino at jrestino@nyc.rr.com and visit her site at www.janetrestino.com

This Valentine's Day, New York City got a little bit hotter with an exhibit by artist Janet Restino called "Love's Body." A complete exhibit celebrating the human form. Ms. Restino, no stranger to classical training, offered the viewer her suite of line drawings alongside text of her poetry. Quite effective, the drawings are splashed with colors that ushered in Valentine's Day with bold tones (mainly in rich reds and purple), thus allowing us to celebrate beyond this season of love. Some of Ms. Restino's , "bodies," can be seen lounging, swaying, dancing, welcoming a truthful repose of being alone or the perfect joining of man and woman (as found in, "Wanna Dance."). This piece was so hot , it sold opening night. But do not fret- Ms. Restino has an edition of 50 prints of each of the 12 pieces which were on view. These "bodies" need a new home or gallery to show in . The exhibit in its sweet brevity graced the walls of Jadite Gallery in Hell's Kitchen. See Press release. Ms. Restino agreed with me when I described the Zen quality, an honest simplicity to her drawings. Restino remarked, "In my classical training we had one minute, one and a half minutes, five minutes, then longer and longer to grasp the life of what's going on in the body ," ( of the live models). "I trained myself to try and get it as fast as I could. It's not math. You have to tap into something else, something spiritual." It's refreshing to see the candor and respect in which nothing is put "on" so to speak. Exponentially refreshing is the embracing quality: people comfortable in their own nude bodies. Restino says, "the body is meant to be loved and portraying women is about love and healing." *The title " How the Body loves to love" is an excerpt of a poem Ms. Restino wrote. More on the dynamics of this show with an extensive interview with "Hollywood" and Ms. Restino will be featured in an upcoming issue of a NYC music and culture magazine as well as noteworthy Pamela Timmins' documentary short featuring this exhibit on You Tube which includes Restino, myself, and other gracious art lovers. www.artslant.com/global/artists/show/43838-janet-restino
