Janet started printmaking in 1981 studying lithography with Sue Buckley at the Workshop Art Centre followed by etching with Mieke Cohen in 2002.

She also paints in watercolour and mixed media and incorporates watercolour painting techniques with etching. She likes the unexpected aspects of etching, mainly using zinc plates with a sugarlift technique, which is a painterly way of etching, as well as hard ground and using aquatint and softground to create tone. Janet also uses solar plates.

Her work is mostly concerned with landscape evoking a mood and sense of place and she has held solo exhibitions and taken part in many joint and group exhibitions, winning awards for her work.
