My name is Janet, I was born in England in 1958 from the age of 2 - I have had a passion for horses, the day my father sat me on an 18 hands Shire horse that was it I was hooked.
With my art I always had a natural talent and when I was 10 I won my first award for a watercolour painting of the Grand National Horse Race which still hangs in the school I attended, from there I went to Art College in Durham England and studied Art and Design for 4 years. I wasn't happy and did not want it as my career - Horses were too much in my blood much to my mother's digust, but this was what I wanted to do.
In 1980 I came to Australia and have been here since, my new special partner Graeme inspired me to get back into my painting, he is a wonderful person and a very talented horse trainer, we have been together for 10 years now.
I incorporate my art in with our very busy lifestyle, as we are now the very proud owners of a Pullagaroo Station, our Station has 200,000 acres and is situated 400klms North of Perth.
