ABOUT THE ARTIST

Janey was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, where she spent considerable time with her mom’s extended family on the beaches of the Gulf coast - a source of inspiration to this day.

Upon graduation from high school, Janey was offered an art scholarship. Given her fear of being a starving artist, she turned to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics with minors in Art and Sociology from Lamar University. She combined these seemingly disparate subjects into a career of interactive design work for clients like Apple, George Lucas Educational Foundation, Stanford University, Paramount Pictures, the Smithsonian, and the Grateful Dead. At the same time, Janey’s art education continued at San Francisco Art Institute, UC Berkeley, and College of Marin.

Her painting practice is woven together with her long-standing meditation practice and her abiding love of the ocean. Her memories carry a utopian vision that she explores in her search for “how can I use art as a force for good”? While living on Oahu for six months a few years back, Janey realized first hand the devastation to the coral reefs and other sea life. This inspired her to focus her artwork on the natural world related to the seas.

Janey’s paintings are collected nationally and internationally. In recent years, she completed an Artist in Residency at Kriti Gallery in Varanasi, India, and had solo exhibitions of her work at the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California and Marin Museum of Contemporary Art in Novato, California. Her commission work includes paintings for Kaiser Permanente Technology Center, Kaiser Permanente Chemical Dependency Treatment Center, Sutter Cathedral Hills Hospital, and Bodega Bay Lodge.

Janey has lived in the San Francisco bay area since 1981; her studio is in San Rafael, California.
