Asian Art Through the Eyes of Janet Tava – Gold Medallion Tapestry for Carpenters and Hand Weavers

Janet Tava’s art is described as Asian, Chinese, elegance in nature, art in motion and has been used in the home decoration industry for many years. With the internet, today we have access to many of his artwork that would normally be considered a high-priced item for a small fraction of the cost. An example would be the gold medallion of hand carpenters and weavers, which is an orchid in vase design. The art on this beautiful wall hanging tapestry is by Janet Tava from her Art in Motion collection. It measures 26 “x 47” and is made of cotton. It is backed by a lining that has a tunnel to place a rod so that you can hang it in your home.

Janet Tava’s love affair with the beauty of nature began as a child in her parents’ lakeside summer log cabin. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts, she became a designer for Karl Mann, a design studio that has pioneered the decorative arts industry. For 12 years he was in charge of the Orientalia Painting Department.

Today, Janet lives with her husband Eugene and daughter Alexandria in a Victorian home in Weehawken, New Jersey, which has that same elegance in nature that she fell in love with as a child. She continues to portray in her work of art, images that allow her soul to touch ours.

Janet’s artwork has been featured in Art Business News, Twentieth Century Literature, Dance Magazine, Architectural Digest, Metropolitan Homes, House Beautiful, Vogue, and House & Garden. His work of art is all over the world in galleries, museums and is used by various designers and firms today. He has works of art in the embassies of South Africa and Saudi Arabia, in the Palace of King Hussein and even in Tavern on the Green in New York. He has won the Roscoe Award for his artwork in the New York Executive Suites at the Plaza Hotel.

Janet’s artwork encompasses not only canvases, prints, posters and other handcrafted goods, but she has also painted many murals and ceilings of historic buildings, the most notable of which has been the Children’s Chapel in the historic Marble Collegiate Church. (the only formal Children’s Chapel in America) and the restored Martin Coryell House in Lambertville, New Jersey. Private collectors of his artwork include Jane Seymour and Dizzy Gillespie, and you and me if we choose to.

When asked about her work, Janet said, “I feel like my work is a representation of my soul … light, airy and ever-changing.”
