Janet is both an artist and an accomplished linguist with her people, producing bi-lingual
literature for teaching programs. She first began to paint in 1989 on small boards when the community store began to stock art supplies for the Aboriginal Artists residing there.
She uses her knowledge and talents as a linguist and translates her Dreaming’s onto canvas.  These stories tell of the mythology and religion of her people. Her paintings from the Water Dreaming stories depict the underground water soakage’s along the Lander River, important to the Aboriginal people from Warntaparri country, in the Tanami Desert region, Central Australia. These dreaming’s tell of the emu egg that was crushed up and thrown into the sky to create the stars of the Milky Way.
