When working on a commission, Janet works closely with the Pastor or Rabbi and the Art Committee determining content and symbolism. Much of her work contains recognizable imagery while having a strong composition of abstract and geometric forms. The technique is hand- and machine-sewn fiber relief.

Janet was educated at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts in Michigan and Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI. Her fiber murals are in religious institutions throughout the country and she is currently working on a 5' x 17' triptych for Old Mission Methodist Church, Mission Hills, KS.

Fees are 10% retainer for sketches, 40% when sketch is approved, and remaining 50% upon completion.
