I am an artist and began photographing images of graffiti as a way to document street art that influenced and inspired me. This led to discovering a great joy--photography--and now I find that taking photos is an all-consuming activity. I really enjoy taking macro shots because they help me to view a secret world.

"I first discovered Janet from Macro Mondays where she is a very active contributor. Her photos taken specially for the challenges each week are truly wonderful original and beautfully executed but when I saw her glass shots of Dale Chihuly's work in an Arizona nature park I knew she was an extremely talented artist. Wonderful work Janet!"

"Janet has one of the most amazingly varied and fascinating streams on flickr. From her early representations of her own etchings and drawings, to her fascinating series of street art captures, to her wildlife and particularly macro work, Janet consistently manages to amaze and inspire.
What stands out is her vision: textures, lines, composition, colour, patterns, shapes, abstracts. She sees it all, and she captures it beautifully.
A pleasure to revisit her stream, as well as check out her blog and professional art website.
She is warm, dedicated, and unassuming, simply letting her body of work stand on its own. The best kind of flickrite, IMO. There is a real sense of delight in her stream, a yearning for learning. I hope you all enjoy her consistent creativity as much as I do."20th March, 2009

I would highly suggest to anyone reading this that you check out Janet's blog, where her artwork, as well as her photographs, are displayed. You will come away with tingles on your skin and a new appreciation for this uniquely talented Flickr friend."21st May, 2008
