A native Ohioan, Janet graduated from Lorain High School and Baldwin-Wallace
College. She has taught in three Ohio school systems and now lives in
Westerville.
Currently, Janet is a board member of the Worthington Area Art League, and
she has served as president in the past. She is a member of the Westerville Art
league and the Central Ohio Watercolor Society.
While teaching art at Reynoldsburg High School in 1974, Janet took her first
watercolor class from Leland McClelland. Soon watercolor became Janet’s medium
of choice.
She has taken classes and workshops from many watercolorists in Columbus and
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Each artist has something different to offer, and by
studying many techniques, Janet has developed her own bright, crisp style.
As a freelance artist, Janet has been commissioned to paint historical
buildings, businesses, boats, cars, florals, people and pets. Her paintings of
the Ohio Bicentennial Barns appeared on 19 phonebook covers around the state.
Her painting of the Ohio State Capital was featured on the 2003 holiday card for
Governor Taft’s staff. Recent commissions include Velvet Ice Cream’s Ye Old Mill
which appeared on their cards and packaging, the Burton Morgan center at Denison
University and the Granville Inn.

between "Get Well" and "Sympathy" cards for victims and survivors of
cancer and other terminal illnesses. Janet, along with other
artists, donated original artwork for the cards. Please visit
