A vibrant mixed-media collage on canvas, featuring raveled fabric and acrylic paint in bright, sunny hues complemented by crimson highlights, created by contemporary Sonoma, Calif., artist JANET YELNER. The band of tomato-soup-colored stippling across the base surprisingly mimics bicycle tire tread. Last hung in an exhibition showcasing the new works of a Bay Area collective of abstract expressionists to which she was affiliated, it is signed and titled en verso. Presented in a matt black floater frame.

JANET YELNER attended Sonoma State University in California’s northern Bay Area from 1970 to 1975. She majored in psychology and art and received a bachelor of arts degree.

Lately, I realize I am a storyteller, sans words, but with pictures on a canvas. – JANET YELNER
