Art Gallery Named Janel Houton as Featured Artist
JUPITER, FL, November 15, 2015 - / Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is pleased to announce that Janel Houton is the gallery’s newest featured artist.
Janel Houton is a Massachusetts artist, who paints and draws nature, landscape and animal themes on canvas and paper using a variety of wet and dry media. Born in Boston and growing up on the North Shore, Janel left New England for twenty years to study and work in New York, Philadelphia, Hawaii and Japan , before returning in 2007 to raise her daughter close to family.
A student of Art History and Historic Preservation-and nearly ten years living and working as an Asian Art dealer in Japan- Janel returned to Boston to enroll in classes in painting and drawing at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts School, and has been actively working ever since. Reawakening her passion for art, her interests in American History, Landscape Architecture, Art History, and Japan, as well as Buddhism, nature, climate change and the environment provide rich themes and subject matter to explore.
Since 2010 Janel has been exhibiting locally, nationally and beyond, with a number of shows in health care settings including the Mass General Cancer Center in early 2015. While Janel’s future plans include active exhibiting, including an exhibit this fall around the theme of Climate Change, she would welcome expanding into illustration in publishing, and recently did a book cover for an author in Brazil. She’s an enthusiastic supporter of the arts for everyone, and believes that people often undervalue their own abilities and interests.
A member of The Artists Group of Charlestown, the Newburyport Art Association, and the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic, she has been exhibiting in the Boston area, nationally and beyond since 2010. She’s always open to new projects and her website is at www.janelhouton.com.
