Janice Sexton

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, her love of nature and desire to express herself through art were formed as a small child. Life has taken her from Wisconsin to Santa Rosa, California, to the high desert of Palomino Valley, Nevada, where the wild mustangs and mountain lions roamed freely. Janice now lives with her husband Joe in the seaside community of Westport Massachusetts. She has two grown children, Troy and Harmony, and recently became a proud grandmother to her grandson Ryder.

Janice is listed in Who's Who of American Artists, as well as Who's Who of America Women. Her paintings hang in public, private and corporate collections throughout the United States. She is currently a member of the International Society of Marine Painters (professional artist status), the American Society of Marine Artists, Oil Painters of America and the Westport Art Group.

Janice is an active member of several wildlife and rescue organizations where she donates her time and talents. Janice has donated her work to The Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, Ducks Unlimited, Massachusetts Water Fowlers, Westport River Watershed Alliance and the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.

Janice's oil painting titled 'Winter's Watch' was among the 50 works selected for the 2-venue exhibition, "Between The Shining Seas!" at the forthcoming American Society Of Marine Artists North American Regional Show. This exhibition will showcase some of the finest maritime paintings in the country. The show will begin at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and travel to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona, Minnesota.

As a freelance fine artist, Janice is comfortable working in several mediums as well as a variety of subject matter. She has created many memorable paintings for her customers throughout the years and has found that working with her clients is one of the highlights of being an artist. Janice enjoys fishing, swimming in the ocean, gardening and camping in the wilderness of the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont.

Janice paints from her home studio in the beautiful farming and fishing village of Westport where the ocean and nature provide her endless inspiration. Her beautiful paintings are available through her website at
