With adults and teens, her charcoal and pastel portraits capture the personality with a flattering but life-like representation. She specializes in infants and children portraits, catching their innocence and mischievous sparkle. She is also experienced in animal portraits, conveying the warmth and liveliness of a favorite pet, from dogs, cats, and horses to more exotic animals such as birds, snakes, or goats. In addition to portraits, Janet may be commissioned to do other kinds of artwork such as landscapes, seascapes, florals, or figure studies in a variety of mediums. Perhaps you wish to remember your home, business, or car with an original drawing or painting, or commission a landscape or floral in the perfect color scheme and dimension for your home. Whatever the choice, your work of art is destined to be a cherished heirloom passed down from generation to generation.
