Janet (Yockell) Clattenburg, born in Welland Ontario. Moved to Port Medway Nova Scotia in 1980 with her husband and two young children. I have delved in art my whole life, but took it seriously after the children were grown. I have had a few solo shows and many fundraising art shows. I work in watercolours, acrylics, oils and ink. Living in such a beautiful community it is not hard to be inspired by mother nature and the great architecture of years ago. I am a member of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, The International Watercolour Society, and The Medway Head Lighthouse Society.
I am a self- taught artist. I have attended workshops at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center in Florida. I had planned on attending the Accademia Del Giglio in Florence Italy but due to the pandemic that was cancelled. I have participated in the Lunenburg Plein air art event.
I started to teach some children acrylic painting and encouraged them to participate in our Local Lighthouse Art Show.
