Janet Brooks
I have studied and taught drawing, design, painting in all media, figurative drawing, and figurative sculpture in clay. My BFA/Studio Art and MFA/Painting were completed at the University of Texas at Austin. I’ve had the honor of teaching art for a number of colleges, universities, and art schools in Austin, TX; Nashville, TN; and the California Bay Area. Color is of great importance in my work, whether abstract or realistic.
