Janet McGrath - Fine Artist
Member Since: 10/05/2009
Hi! I'm a 74 year old pastor's wife who loves Yahshua (Jesus) first and loves people and painting portraits second!!! I grew up in Boston, MA. taking High School classes at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and receiving a scholarship from the fine arts dept in their school. That early training of life drawing and copying the old master paintings in the museum galleries has been the strong foundation that I build on as I seek to develop as an artist. I have also attended workshops under Daniel Greene, Albert Handell, David Lefell, John Howard Sanden, Bert Silverman, Clayton Beck, and others and am one of the founding members of the Portrait Society of America. But, I must confess, my greatest training was in 'The School of Hard Knocks' doing pastel portraits seven days a week for five years on the Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, TN!!! Learning to work with and please portrait clients requires extra training!! During those years people who watched me paint on the Mall requested classes and thus began by teaching career which I continue here in North Central FL, near The Villages.
BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT!!! Just email me a photo of special people, pets or things in your life and within two weeks I will ship you a gorgeous pastel portrait that will become a treasured family keepsake. Drop me a note and I will tell you more. Have a blessed day!
