“My family was very artistic. I was exposed to art and creativity at home. Everyone in my family loved to draw, paint or create.”
Always drawing and trying new techniques when she was younger, she used her drawing skills to draw simple line drawings and illustrations for Christian missionaries in several countries, including Romania and China. She designed many children’s art projects for churches and bible studies still used today.
As a child, she loved creating, coloring and exploring different mediums. She pursued the skills to enable her to paint and draw in the style she loved and is classically trained in Grisaille and chiaroscuro.
Now she loves to draw or paint daily. It’s a way of relaxing and challenging her skill. She loves demonstrating live and has taught both drawing and painting.
Janene has shown her work in various shows and galleries including the Texas Gallery, The Forsyth Museum at Texas A&M, the Scottsdale Art School, and the George Bush Presidential Library.
She was named “Best and Brightest” by The Scottsdale Artist’s School 2011
Janene was juried into the Forsyth Gallery and Museum in 2011 and in 2012.
Recently, she was accepted to the prestigious 2021 Bosque Art Classic, and the 2022 Community Show at the Reynolds Museum Texas A&M University.

Winning many national and international awards for her paintings as well as her drawings, she realizes it a God-given privilege and blessing to be a painter. She is grateful for the Lord’s grace in giving her this privilege.
