Janet Matthews Janet is an award winning artist with an individual style combining coloured pencil and graphite. Her realistic, detailed and gentle drawings are always of a high standard and reflect her own personality, humour and life experiences.  Janet's love of drawing and her rapport with 'critters' is evident in her portrayal of animals and birds, either in their natural environment or co-habiting in suburbia.  Drawing them in family groups, in pairs of friends or in action or play, she captures their personality or "conversation" beautifully. Janet exhibits regularly, has work in several galleries in Australia, has exhibited in China, Germany, the UK and the USA, as well as work in public and private collections in Australia, Japan, USA, China and England.  She holds a Diploma and a Graduate Diploma of Visual Arts, is a 'Signatory Fellow of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists' as well as 'President of the Wildlife Art Society of Australasia'.
