Celebrating Janet

Today would have been Janet’s 84th birthday. She is missed dearly and also celebrated daily…Today in particular I wanted to post a few of Janet’s beautiful artworks that I have had the honor of finding and digitizing for the archives project. This is a project that began around 2010 but got put aside when Janet and I were pulled by muses elsewhere. The archives project became the main focus since her passing and was significantly progressed this past summer, I continue to work on it bit by bit alongside my graduate studies. Here are a small sample of her tremendous collection, in which you find a enormous range of creations.

Love, Tana
