ABOUT THE ARTIST

Janet Hoyer Cobb has developed a lifelong passion with art from an early age working in a broad range of media to achieve her visual communication.

After gaining formal training with the Julian Ashton Art School and tonal studies with Graham Inson (Sydney) she explored figurative expression through sculpture at the Rhok Acadamie (Brussels, Belgium) and more recently with Tom Bass in Sydney.

In the late 1990's Janet spent 3 years living, painting and travelling throughout Europe. She frequented European museums and galleries to study figurative works in major collections from the 19th and 20th centuries, a focus she has continued to pursue on a number of occasions since then. It was in this melting pot of figurative expressions that Janet gained her greatest influences. From Degas and Vuillard's design and patterning, to the effects Japanese art has on developing ones sense of space these influences all contribute to her sense of expression.
