Janet's paintings portray an emotional reaction to her surroundings using atmosphere, light and colour to create a sense of the place or subject.

While she paints mainly in watercolour she also enjoys using ink, charcoal, pastels and acrylics as alternative media.

Janet has been painting since childhood but only in the past few years has she started to take it more seriously and exhibit her work.

Janet is a member of the Nottingham Society of Artists where she regularly exhibits and has won a number of awards. Her work has also consistently been selected for the Annual City Gallery Exhibitions in Leicester during the past few years.

As well as painting in the UK Janet spends much of her time in Gozo, Malta where she enjoys the different light and architecture of the island.

A Shropshire lass by birth, Janet has lived in the East Midlands for most of her life, working as a broadcaster for many years, first on BBC Radio Leicester and later becoming a familiar face as a news presenter and journalist on BBC TV East Midlands Today.

Her voice was selected as the first to be used for announcements on the London Underground trains on the Central Line.
