About the Artist

Janene has surrounded herself with animals since she could walk. Her childhood passions were horses and dogs, both of which share her life today. "I cannot imagine my life without animals. They add a dimension to life that nothing else can. How empty and alone I would be without them!" states Janene.

Eclectic and well-rounded describes this Artist's background. No matter what venue Janene pursued, art has always played a major role. "It's a resounding theme in everything I do and have ever done... the art... It's always back to the art." From professional fashion model, to a degree in dental hygiene, to media marketing for Nashville singing stars, Janene has peppered her careers with art.

Now a full time artist, Janene enjoys success with a variety of mediums including graphite, acrylic, watercolor and sculpture. Bronze equine sculptures have captured her talents today.

Originally from Bakersfield, California, Janene has lived throughout the southern United States and now makes her comfortable home in Colorado with husband, Ken. Janene has studied with Veryl Goodnight, Paul Lucchesi, and David Klass. Her works have been featured in gallery exhibitions and national art shows. More of her work can be viewed at www.spiritsinthewindgallery.com.

Janene is an associate with The American Academy of Equine Art, Women Artists of the West, and is a member with several art guilds.
