In 1988 she went to Paris to study drawing and painting in a traditional atelier program with Ben Long and the following year received a BA in Art from Meredith College. During the years between undergraduate and graduate school, Janet worked as a studio artist in Raleigh and Oriental, NC. In 2004 she completed an MFA in Painting and Drawing at Louisiana State University, where she worked with Michael Crespo. Janet’s professional life is devoted to the practice, teaching, and elevation of observational drawing. Her work can be found in the collections of the City of Raleigh and the University of Arkansas, and her exhibition record includes shows in North Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Toronto. Janet has participated in visiting artist and residency programs in Tahanaout, Morocco; Penland and Kinston, NC; Gatlinburg, TN; and Spring Island, SC.
