Art and music are the passions of Janice’s life.  She graduated with a degree in performance music and spent over 30 years as a professional harpist in the Washington, D.C. area.  The National Gallery of Art often hired her to play at the opening receptions for their special exhibitions, where her favorite experience was playing next to The Kiss during the Rodin exhibit.  What a thrilling experience!
 
Janice has always loved art of all types, but drawing is her first love.  Scratchboard began as an experiment and mind reversal from pencil and pen and ink.  She admits she’s totally addicted to the medium and the drama of black and white.
 
She often claims she was born with a pencil in her hand, but it took retirement and a move to Montana before she began to focus on developing her skill as a visual artist.  She has no formal art education, but with help from workshops under some of the best (Robert Bateman, Greg Beecham and Julie Chapman), hard work and determination, she is beginning to have success as a wildlife artist.  
 
Janice has been featured in Western Art Collector, Southwest Art and won second place in the 2022 Artist’s Magazine annual competition.  Her Siberian tiger portrait graces the back cover of Strokes of Genius 6:  The Best in Drawing.  Her latest mountain lion piece has just been juried into the Society of Animal Artists’ 65th Annual Exhibition and is a finalist in Strokes of Genius 17.  She has been juried into prestigious shows in Texas (including the Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio), Tennessee, Louisiana, Wyoming, and Arizona.  In addition to the International Society of Scratchboard Artists, Janice is a member of the Society of Animal Arts and American Women Artists.
