ARTIST STATEMENT/BIO
"I consider myself very fortunate to have had a mother who nurtured creativity. I was the only kid on the block who had a ream of newsprint in my toy closet. I don’t remember having many coloring books. I liked drawing my own pictures.”
“As a senior in high school, I wrote my senior term paper on art education. I was hooked. I entered college and majored in art education at Kansas University.”
“I didn’t do a lot of art when my children were little. I worked as an elementary art teacher, a middle school art teacher, print shop artist, and a framer. After I started teaching art at an at-risk high school, I realized I needed to be working on my own art. I knew I wasn’t “God’s gift to the art world”, but I wanted to start doing art for myself. I taught art at Hope Street Academy in Topeka, Kansas for 20 years and worked on my own skills."
"After my husband and I retired we moved to West Liberty, Iowa, to be closer to grandchildren. I became part of Karel Cline’s art class on Saturday mornings. Once again, I was actively working at doing art for my own enjoyment. Now I have a place to show work at Brick Street Gallery and I am delighted."
Janet serves as president for the West Liberty Area Arts Council and is the liaison to the WLAAC from the Brick Street Gallery committee. She is our Thursday afternoon host for the gallery and teaches many of our classes and workshops.
