Janet Treby

Janet Treby was born in 1955 and grew up in a small village in Bedfordshire, England, surrounded by wildlife that sparked her innate passion for nature and the ethereal. By age eleven, she knew with unwavering certainty that she wanted to become an artist. She pursued her calling at the West Surrey College of Art and the Slade College of Art, where she developed the foundation for her distinctive artistic voice.
Treby specializes in mezzotint, etching, and serigraphy, using these techniques to illustrate the human form with grace and tenderness. Her work is characterized by muted colors that create a dreamlike, peaceful quality, while her meticulous drawing skills and atmospheric sensibility have made her a favorite among collectors internationally for many years. She is represented by Park West Gallery.
Beyond her studio practice, Janet has enjoyed a distinguished teaching career at West Surrey College of Art and Design, and has lectured at the Ruskin School of Drawing in Oxford, Barnfield College in Luton, and on mezzotint at Southill Park College at Bracknell. Today, Treby resides in rural Cornwall with her family and pets, continuing to draw inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her.
