Janet Clukie
Janet Clukie is originally from Florida but has moved around and now resides in North Georgia. Creating art, even at a young age, was one of her favorite activities. Living around the country scenic atmosphere has influenced her work, especially dogs and horses. Known best for her pet portraits, she has expanded to landscape and wildlife art. Her primary mediums are oils and soft pastels. Janet’s passion for art quickly grew into her desire to make painting and drawing her career. Janet's passion for creating is endless and she is delighted to share her artwork.
"I'm driven in my work to capture the inspiration of my subject and support it with the excitement of color, texture, and brushwork. With a variety of components in my paintings, my desire is to represent not just a moment but an experience in my work that visually captivates the viewer. As I incorporate values, various hues, and textures, the intent is for all the components to work together in harmony to tell a story without words. I consistently work to sharpen and develop my techniques in my work to better define the story I am conveying in a realistic form."
When Janet is not in her studio or creating, she spends time with her family and loved ones. She is often traveling and taking adventures to find new places as well as inspirations. The country lifestyle has influenced her artwork through time spent on the farm, horseback riding, and taking care of the animals. Janet is always being inspired by nature and life itself.
