Eager to draw as long as she can recall, Janet Shen is a self-taught artist by never-ending searching, observing and practicing. She chose her career as a landscape architect and architectural illustrator, so she is never too far away from designing, art pursuing and her love of nature. Janet expresses herself in watercolor because of her love of its spontaneity and transparent qualities. Her body of work revolves around the local scenery and the bright cheerful colors which reflect her personality and view of the world.
In 1994, she published “Sketching and Rendering for Design Presentations” that focuses on perspective drawing and presentation techniques.
