Blue Bend

Janine Robertson is an American oil painter based in Madison, Connecticut, known for serene coastal landscapes inspired by the marshes and shorelines of New England. She began her career as a muralist and trompe l’oeil painter before shifting to easel painting, where she found a more intimate scale for exploring light, stillness, and atmosphere.

A signature element of her practice is painting on aluminum and copper, using the reflective surfaces to heighten depth, texture, and luminosity. She often begins works en plein air and completes them in the studio to strengthen composition and refine the effect of time and changing light, with commissions spanning both public and private clients.
