Janet is a multi-media Whitehorse artist and visual storyteller who became a full-time artist in the ‘third chapter’ of her life, after nearly four decades as a journalist and communications professional. She is best known for creating sculptural pieces with reclaimed, natural, and found objects. Her needle felted birds, animals and forest folk can be found for sale through Yukon Artists at Work and Arts Underground. Janet has had work in numerous solo and group shows in the Yukon and Alaska. She is currently preparing for an artist residency in June on board a tall ship in the Svalbard archipelago off the coast of Norway.
