BIO
Janey was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, where childhood days spent on the Gulf Coast with her mother’s extended family continue to inspire her work.
Offered an art scholarship after high school, she instead pursued a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at Lamar University, with minors in Art and Sociology, driven by a fear of the “starving artist” path. She later blended these disciplines into a dynamic career in interactive design, collaborating with clients such as Apple, the George Lucas Educational Foundation, Stanford University, Paramount Pictures, the Smithsonian, and the Grateful Dead. At the same time, she deepened her art education at the San Francisco Art Institute, UC Berkeley, and College of Marin.
Janey’s award winning paintings are collected nationally and internationally. She has been an Artist in Residence at Kriti Gallery in Varanasi, India, and has held solo exhibitions at the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California, and the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art in Novato, California. Her commissioned work includes paintings for Kaiser Permanente Technology Center, Kaiser Permanente Chemical Dependency Treatment Center, Sutter Cathedral Hills Hospital, and Bodega Bay Lodge.
She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works out of her studio in San Rafael, California.
