About Janet Vanderhoof
Janet Vanderhoof, a military brat, by her own definition, was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1951. She currently resides in rural Morgan Hill, California, surrounding herself with nature, an inspiration for her landscape paintings. She also enjoys figurative painting as well as digital work, another dimension of her creativity. It wasn’t until her youngest was born with Down’s syndrome that she began to reexamine her life and begin exploring a long-dormant desire to study art, finally at 38.
Janet Vanderhoof is an award winning published artist with Grand Image. Artaissance, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, now publishes her giclees. She has been shown by numerous galleries, but now has her Fine Art studio in Morgan Hill, CA.
