My whole life I have enjoyed sewing, painting and creating. I retired a few years ago from teaching Home Economics. At one time, I taught art in middle school. Since I love showing people how to do things and I love painting, I combined my two talents together to teach art. I enjoy showing you how to do the technique and then you interpret it onto your canvas. That way it is your artwork and creation.
My art classes are the wet-on-wet technique in oil painting. Upon retiring, I became a certified Bob Ross instructor with his technique in landscapes and flowers. I received my master art certificate from Joyce Ortner's International Seascape program.
I like creating and always am thinking of something 'to do'. All the paintings and items that are in my Gallery are created by me. I hope you enjoy looking at them. Just let me know if you'd like to purchase an item, take a class, need custom artwork or something else.
My brief history.
I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida (Mandarin). After attending South Georgia Junior College in Douglas, Georgia, I transferred and graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. I taught Home Economics at Jupiter Middle and Jupiter Senior High School in Jupiter, Fl and then at Northshore High School in West Palm Beach, Fl. Got married. Transfered to South Carolina and taught at C E Murray High School in Greeleyville. Lived in Wake Forest, North Carolina for many years where I raised my two children and taught at WFR High School. Retired and left NC to return to Jacksonville, where I currently substitute and teach oil painting.
Please contact me if you have any questions about my art, classes, or something else.
Take care,
Janet
