Janet Hong, Artist
Chesapeake, Virginia
Janet was raised in rural northeastern Pennsylvania where she spent time exploring the woods and meadows, learning to enjoy nature at an
early age. She began drawing and painting birds and small mammals while in high school and attended private classes working with pastels. After marriage, she continued to paint but much of her time was devoted to her job and four children. After moving to Virginia, she attended Old Dominion University, Tidewater Community College, and seminars by other artists.
She has exhibited at Wildlife Art Shows for thirty years. She has shown at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk Show, Currituck Wildlife Show,
Seawall Art Show, and wildlife shows in Pennsylvania and New York State. She has awards for “Best in Show,” numerous“Second Place” and “Purchase Awards.”
She frequents parks, beaches and woodland areas taking pictures and creating thumbnail sketches of the wildlife in their natural habitat. Most of
her work is acrylic on canvas, but occasionally uses watercolor and gouache or oils.
