Artist Statement for Janet Munro
|
|
|
Massachusetts Born Artist - JL. Munro is a contemporary painter that captures our interest in several ways - and in more than 35 years of painting, has achieved a great amount of recognition. Paintings by Munro are included in many important public and private collections: The Smithsonian Institution, The Clinton White House, Mrs. Barbara Bush Sr., Mrs. Ethel Kennedy, Estate of Mrs. Rose Kennedy, Smucker's Inc., Tropicana Inc., The John D. and Catherine T. Mac Arthur Foundation, The American Cancer Society, CDC., Atlanta, Museum of American Folk Art, N.Y.C., Estate of Dr. Benjamin Spock, Estate of Emmet Kelly Sr., Mr. Cliff Robertson, Estate Mr. Isaac Stern, The Beach Boys, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Whoopi Goldberg, and Penny Marshall is to list only a few.
Munro describes her canvases as "pictorial-history" or - that they are paintings - with a message - actually read by the viewer, like a page in a book. With a noted focus on the waterfront lives of everyday people, her favorite subjects are her native Massachusetts, New England, east-cost factory towns, and the Hudson River. Whether it is a bustling town street, or a quiet bayside, Munro is always striving for realism, and she carefully finishes each canvas to tell a story of American Life.
Munro - Born - [Janet Andrea Lehne] - Woburn, Mass. - 1949 - Married Charles Eldon Munro - 1968 - Three Children --- 10 Grandchildren - Resides --- Hyannis - Cape Cod, Mass.
"I got married in 1968, and did not go to college after high school. We had three kids right away, and I had a lot of part-time jobs, but I never took a job I couldn't quit. I've been a waitress, housekeeper, baby-sitter, window washer, bakery clerk, flower designer, and hospital EKG technician. I always knew that I was really a painter, and that working for a little money at some other job was temporary, 'till I could get back to my canvases." Today the Munro's make their home on Cape Cod, Mass. - and enjoy their leisure times with family and ten grandchildren.
