Janet Pfeiffer
Janet is an emerging mixed media artist and joined the Rob Park studio's in September. After giving herself time to meet new people and settle in to her new environment she was able to spend some time preparing for her November trip where she spent 3 weeks on her first 'artist in residence' in Beverley WA. Here she led couple of art workshops, one for children and one for adults. At the end of her stay held a solo exhibition and sold nine of her artworks to the locals. Janet says it was valuable time away from the hustle and bustle of daily living to reflect on her creative work and future direction. Janet is looking forward to a busy 2014, entering art awards and maybe a couple of residencies. Also developing her skills in encaustic and life drawing. Janet would like to thank all the 'creatives' at Rob Park for making her feel welcome and she looks forward to getting to know you more as we work under the same roof! www.janetpfeifferartist.com |
