Janet Hale is a resident of Fairfax County, Virginia. Art has been a part of Janet's life from the very start that was made stronger by creative parents and extended family members. Since the family was constantly traveling throughout Europe and the tropics, Janet has many deep visual influences. At age 12 she was inspired by the "Book of Kells" in Ireland, so she started drawing black pen and ink designs. She also at times enjoys adding subtle humor with her whimsical pieces in watercolor and pen and ink. Janet has illustrated two books for Health Care Practitioners, several cookbooks and newsletters. Now retired, she continues to enjoy creating in watercolors and pen and ink.
