Janet Waltz
About the Artist …
Janet grew up in Missouri and has spent her entire adult life in northern California. She is number five in a family of eleven very artistic children. Her father was an artist, and her mother was an accomplished pianist.
Janet attended West Valley College and San Jose State University, where she studied electrical engineering and art, earning a degree in electrical engineering. She worked for Hewlett-Packard for 26 years before retiring and pursuing her passion for art full-time. She then studied photography at Yuba College and Sacramento State University.
Janet has always been interested in art and has worked in many different mediums. Her art is continually evolving as she experiments with other mediums and is always looking for something new to try.
Janet currently leases a suite in the historic Eleventh and L building in downtown Sacramento, directly across from the state capitol, where she owns the Artbeat Gallery Studio and Gift Shop.
She teaches classes and provides a place for her artist to create art and share their incredible talent. She entered into this project over seven years ago with the hope that she could support and encourage emerging artist who otherwise may not have the opportunity to explore and exhibit the artwork right next to hers and volunteer their time to help when the gallery is open to the public. She celebrates their successes when their artwork sells and encourages them to try different mediums and styles.
