About Janet

Janet Stahle is a painter and printmaker. Fine art studies were completed at the University of Guelph and at several other Ontario colleges and universities.

Recently, she is experimenting with combining traditional methods of art making with digital methods which she calls “tradigital”.

Janet’s work has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the McMichael Gallery and in numerous solo and group shows as well as nationally and internationally. She is the recipient of many awards. Her work has been featured in Canadian books, magazines and newspapers and is included in both private and corporate collections.

Art is “the sensuous presentation of ideas” (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel)
