Janet’s practice is shaped by the quiet force of memory. Scenes of places, people, and passing moments return to her not as fixed images but as shifting impressions. Through reflection and imagination, these fragments are transformed into new visual narratives that carry both the trace of the real and the freedom of invention.

Her inspiration often begins in the landscape. Walking through changing weather and varied terrain, she observes how light, atmosphere, and the power of nature create moments that stay with her long after the encounter has passed. These remembered sensations find their way onto canvas and mixed media surfaces chosen for their ability to hold the emotional tone or metaphor of the experience.

Her work embraces variation. Sudden changes in style or technique invite viewers into a space of exploration, where each piece offers a different way of seeing. This openness reflects her early fascination with artists such as Picasso, whose deliberate distortions captivated her as a child, and David Hockney, whose work she studied closely during visits to Salts Mill.

Janet works with acrylics, oils, watercolour, collage, and a range of other materials. Each medium becomes a way to extend her inquiry into perception, memory, and transformation.

Her artworks invite viewers to look closely, to sense the stories that lie beneath the surface, and to enter the quiet dialogue between memory and imagination.
