Janette Jones - Biography

  

Janette Jones

The comments heard most often about her paintings are “they make me feel joyful”, “lift my spirits”, and “they are filled with a sense of light and lightness”. As an artist who is constantly looking for the beauty of light in every subject, this is music to her ears. As a person who is wildly optimistic about life and positive about the future, she is thrilled her paintings reflect this “joie de vivre” attitude and bring joy to her collector. Janette uses a strong sense of design, personal color mixes and an intimate point of view to create her distinct style.

Born in California and majored in art while attending California State University, Stanislaus, and studied watercolor  for five years with Virginia Jentoft in Davis, Ca.  Her watercolor images were successfully marketed and licensed with Daisy Kingdom, Naturally, Springs Mills and Prints Plus (among others) between 1988-2002.  She has been painting outdoors in oils after a workshop in 2003 with Elizabeth Tolley, hooked by the challenge of capturing the truth on canvas.
