Janet trained at Reigate College of Art, England and gained the Surrey Diploma in textile design. She then worked for Heal Fabrics in London and later spent six years working as Art Editor at an Oxford publishers.

Her work is very much influenced by the work of Samuel Palmer, a 19th century English painter. The most recent work is abstract using mixed media and special techniques, incorporating gold leaf. Her style has a timeless quality and the colours complement and harmonize with any setting.

Janet now paints full time in her studio in Kent.
