Lotus exemplifies Janet Fish’s interest in light, motion, and lush, saturated color. Well known for her richly executed oil paintings and pastels of glass objects, fruit, and flowers, Janet Fish considers herself a "painterly realist" primarily interested in light, atmosphere and motion, and lush, saturated color, which draw the viewers' eyes so that they never rest on just a single element.

Born into a family of artists in Boston and raised in Bermuda, Fish received a BA degree from Smith College in addition to BFA and MFA degrees from Yale University. Fish works in her studios in New York City and in Middletown Springs, Vermont. Her paintings and prints are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, Art Institute of Chicago, IL, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, Dallas Museum of Art, TX, and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, PA.
