Janet Hickox

Janet Hickox is a professional artist who works from her studio in the scenic Pacific Northwest in Portland Oregon. Since 2008, she has been perfecting her take on impressionist art to create a one- of-a –kind style that captures the eye and the imagination. Janet has a deep passion for painting still life, landscapes and floral paintings, but has never confined herself to just one style of painting. She understands that one of the real thrill of being an artist is to explore different techniques and mediums to find new ways to express herself.

Janet’s original introduction to art was through her drawing abilities at an early age, but it was oil painting that struck the biggest chord with her. This led her to studies and instruction from many great artist, which helped her further develop her natural talents. Janet was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from several established artists during her life, which gave her the firm foundation she needed to explore her own ideas and skills. She has studied with Michele Usibelli, Jennifer Bowman, and Janis Graves to name a few. Her artistry and skills flourished the most during her time studying under Ilona Rittler, and internationally-acclaimed artist who attained her fine arts education and background in Europe. Janet feels blessed to have had the opportunity to study with Ms. Rittler.

Janet finds painting to be a calming way to express herself and is constantly evolving her abilities to create a style that is her own. Those who know her will tell you that Janet’s own sensitive nature is reflected in all her works. Her artwork is imaginative, creative and beautiful every time. Janet’s creative works of impressionist and still life art are just as calming for people to look at as they are for her to paint.
