Creative Diary
As an artist, it is always fun to show your work. I am honored to say that all four drawings that I submitted to the Professional drawing Division received a ribbon. First Place went to ‘Forward Thinking’. ‘Excellence In Design’ went to ‘Amazing Grace’ and Third Place, ‘Thinking Outside The Lines’.
I appreciate you and everyone that resonates with my art. Many of my originals have been collected over the past 20 years and it is so rewarding when a collector falls in love with a piece. It is a resonance, a place inside you that says yes, this is the one. Getting to know my Continue Reading

About Janet
" My guiding light as an artist is expressing the power, movement and sensitive nature of horses and other animals. So many of us know the beauty and love shared by us and the animals. It is an emotional kinship. I find great joy in creating a painting where the life and soul can be seen and felt not just by me, but the viewer as well.
In creating a piece I often combine engaging expressions in my subjects that evoke emotional curiosity along with dynamic energy, life and spirit circling within the composition. My paintings are first felt in my heart and are complete when the spirit of the piece arouse a feeling of intimate communication. My mission is to accurately portray the equine form, combined with color, inspired originality, infused with living essence.
I will continue to paint in oil with expressive brushwork, inspired by the vibrant animals that dance through my mind."
