About the artist

Hi, I’m Janet.

Welcome to my creative corner! For me, painting is about more than putting paint on a canvas. It’s about slowing down, getting creative and making something that brings a little happiness into the world.

I paint mostly with acrylics and love creating rustic and seasonal pieces, wildlife, and one-of-a-kind artwork inspired by the people, places and things that mean something to us. And when I’m not painting? There’s a good chance I’m helping someone else discover how much fun painting can be.

Art is not just a hobby for me. It’s my therapy.

My personal journey

It’s never too late to return to what you love.

01

Early sparks

It started when I was a kid with a stick of charcoal. Drawing was my quiet, happy place, and that feeling never left me.

02

A return to art

About six years ago, I picked up a brush again. A little hobby quickly became a big love. I tried new paints, learned new tricks and kept going.

03

Learning through persistence

I got better by practising, a lot. Some paintings didn’t work out, and those taught me the most.

04

Finding my voice

Over time, it all came together. I’m self-taught, and painting now feels natural and joyful. I still learn something new every day.

05

Sharing what I’ve learned

Now I love teaching. I want to give others the friendly, patient help I wished I had when I was learning on my own.

I truly believe it’s never too late to create, learn something new, or rediscover something you love.
