Janet Roberts picked up a drawing pencil, then a paintbrush well into a 40-year career as a journalist. Now, she’s fusing her lifelong profession as a storyteller with a new passion for visual arts. She works in ink, oil and pastels, and she loves nothing more than to draw the viewer into the imagined places where she and her subjects convene.

Come and meet me and fellow artist Michele Soncini on Oct. 17 at Maplewood Art Walk. We’ll be in The Bunker Creative tent from 10-4 on Baker Street in front of A Paper Hat art store. We’ll have original work, prints and note cards for sale. From noon to 3, we’ll have a couple of amazing figure models posing. Come and draw with us! The event is free. Tips for the models are appreciated.
Sometimes current events influence artwork. Introducing two recent ink drawings: The Mesozoic Era and Living in Abominable Times. Prints and notecards of the Supreme Court drawing are available in Janet’s gallery. The winter piece is part of a new series of offbeat holiday cards. Stand out from the pack this holiday season.
