"Hi and welcome to my website. I truly believe horses have the power to transform our consciousness, nourish our spirits and delight our hearts.

I've been involved with horses my whole life and have always been fascinated by their beauty, power and their ability to communicate not only with each other but with us too.

I invite you to wander through the galleries of my original paintings here and as you do, I hope you not only enjoy them but begin to get a sense of the passion and love for these divine creatures that went into producing them." - Janet



Janet's multi-faceted career has always embraced her creativity and love for color. She embarked as a clothing designer in her early 20s and started her own swimwear and sportswear company in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her original designs and hand dyed fabric blossomed into a clothing company that was distributed across the United States and exported to Japan, Sweden, Tahiti and the Caribbean. She received numerous awards and recognition for her trend-setting styles and tropical infusion of color, even being awarded the Young Entreprenuer of the Year Award for the State of Hawaii in 1989. She devoted herself for nine years to the fashion industry and decided to switch her focus as the demands of running a business with dozens of employees no longer felt in balance with her happiness and life purpose.

Janet's personal journey led her to simplify her life and move to Santa Cruz on the central coast of California where she lives with her husband and daughter. The unique beauty of her new home combined with her love of drawing and painting prompted her to explore the medium of watercolor. Soon she was painting expressive landscapes and was a featured artist at the local Thomas Kinkade Gallery in Pismo Beach, California. Her original paintings have been featured in several galleries and juried exhibitions, including the Aquarius IV watercolor show in San Luis Obispo; Divine Equine juried art exhibit 2009 in Woodside, CA; Los Gatos Art Association Statewide Open Juried Show 2010; and the Open Studios Art Tour sponsored by the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz since 2008.
