She was to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time from the Palisades in Santa Monica, CA at the age of twelve. She knew she would never live far from it again. After high school she bought a “how to” book on oil painting and a set of colors and began to paint. When she wasn’t happy with the results, she sought out a compatible artist to study with, Corinne West Hartley. During this period, Janet went from line drawing in pencil or ink with little shading or modeling, to colorful Impressionist-style oils. Although Janet has always wanted to draw people and had little interest in other subjects, she did go through different periods. Janet had her first one-woman show in 1978 in Pasadena, CA. She began accumulating ribbons and medals from juried shows. She says her works were most influenced by Corinne Hartley and by the Impressionists: “Degas for his draftsmanship and anatomy, Gauguin for color and atmosphere, and Sorolla for the handling of light.” It was Corinne who helped her with her ability to portray personality and emotion, the hallmarks of her paintings today. Janet paints people in her own style. That style has been called “enhanced realism”.
