Her passion for horses has always been part of her life and she has ridden, competed and painted them since early childhood. She keeps several on her farm in Cornwall where she has a large studio. Horses and other animals feature in her murals and she has frequently painted them life-size for commissions both in the UK and abroad. Janet has painted Pegasus twice – one of the paintings being over 4 metres high. She has also tackled St George and the Dragon life-size, and more recently the Legend of Tir na Nog . She is now in demand not just for her mural painting but also for her animal portraits and her racing and point to point paintings.
If you are interested in asking her to paint one of your own animals, please contact her for details of prices and alternative media.
For the last twelve years she has welcomed students from all over the world to her studio to improve their painting skills, with the emphasis being on achieving realism in their work – one of the most important qualities for painting both trompe l’oeil and animal portraits.
Her equestrian paintings can also be seen on www.equestrianartists.co.uk the website for the Society of Equestrian Artists.
