Janet is well traveled, studying abroad in London and teaching photography courses in Britain, Paris, the Alps, The Netherlands and Italy. Many remember her from her tenure at the University of Central Missouri (UCM) as a photography professor and the Coordinator of Photography, a career lasting 30 years. Her work at UCM included the authorship of the Bachelor of Science major in Photography and the Master of Science degree in Photography. Her passion for teaching others the joy and fulfillment of photography is infectious.

Aside from her photography and work abroad in Western Europe, Janet enjoys photography adventures in the United States, as well. The past two summers she explored and photographed landmarks and skyscapes in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, contrasting these with scenery from Washington state and Maine. She just returned from a trip to photograph migrating Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska and Snow Geese at the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, Mo. Some of her work is on display in the UCM Union and Recreation Center. Janet also is creating a mural for Warrensburg’s City Hall.
