Janet Bothne grew up in Massachusetts and studied Fine Art with a focus on painting, at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, in the early 1980’s. From there she went on to numerous endeavors including antique restoration, freelance portraiture & illustration, and painting commercial murals. She moved to the Los Angeles area in 1996 where she married her artist eye with computer skills, becoming a graphic designer but her passion for drawing and painting increasingly nagged. Courses at UCLA and Brentwood Art Center - Los Angeles, helped bring her back to her roots of painting in 2003, when she began her artwork full-time at her studio at the Santa Monica Airport. Her love of exploring color and color relationships has given way to the bold abstract expressionism that is quickly gaining broad attention in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and beyond. Bothne’s works have garnered awards at three Southern California juried shows and her collectors now span across the U.S. and abroad.
