Profile:

JANET DANZI

I have always been interested in art and became serious in the early 80’s, when I took private oil painting lessons.

I received an A.A.S. degree in fine arts in 1989 from Housatonic Community College, Bridgeport, Ct.  I also studied at Northwestern Community College, Winsted, Ct. and Sierra College, Rocklin, CA.

I exhibited and won awards for pastel and pen & ink from 1984-86 at Torrington Art Show, Torrington, CT., showed watercolors at Gallery South, Torrington, CT., Northwestern Bank, Winsted, Ct., and Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, Torrington, Ct.

In 1993 I had a one person watercolor show at Sacramento State University.  In 1999 I exhibited at the Rocklin Library and from 2001 to present at the Springfield Art Shows, Snowflake Art Show and the Rocklin Fine Arts Membership Show.    

I am currently a member of the Springfield Fine Arts Club and the Monday Afternoon Art Studies, at which time I work with the other artists at Springfield to encourage fine arts in our community.   

I work in watercolors, pastels, pen and pencil.  I enjoy nature, especially flowers and try to achieve transparency in watercolors.  My subjects come from my photos.
