I employ manmade pigments purposefully, infusing these traditional landscapes with human elements—mirroring our unceasing influence on nature’s canvas.

Bio:

Janet began studying art at the age of two in Japan. Her love of art continued after her family immigrated to Northern Ontario in the early 1960s. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in Music Performance, she returned as an adult student to the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD) to study Fine Art with a specialty in figure drawing and painting.

Over the past three decades, she has worked in printmaking, mixed media and painting, in genres from portraiture to printmaking and more recently, the landscapes of Northern Ontario where she grew up.
