Janet Wood-Person is one of the world’s soon to be known artist and custom painter who recently started her own painting company called “Wall Fashions”. She is one of Virginia’s strongest motivated painters. Her unique ideas have helped lots of people see home décor in a different light.
In 2003, Janet started a home-based business called “Peninsula School of Decorative Painting”. Word of mouth put her in a category by itself. She was a one-woman show during that time. She then placed her residential and commercial talent on hold in 2005.
Janet is one of the most sought after custom painters in the area. She is known for how she developed the talent of painting and her unique eye for art. Janet learned the art of decorative/faux painting by emotional trauma. On her son's 10th birthday, tragedy struck her household. Her husband whom she married out of high school died of cancer. Faced with fear and lonliness, she found peace through the word of God. She was able to grab a hold of God's word for strength. With His strength, He wiped away the tears and softened the pain. While in peace, she started painting. Her paintings became her life. Color after color, emotion after emotion. Rebirth, direction and success soon followed her new life. Each painting tells a brief story of her triumph. Now she is paying it forward to her community and her clients.
She advises clients of unlimited possibilities of custom painting along with her knowledge of color both combined offers elegance and sophistication to rooms that have slight imperfections or need a new look. Her special interest in texture painting shows in her work. All designs are completely one of a kind.
She recently remarried in 2007 and currently resides in Forest, VA. She has one son who attends a nearby university. She is now painting again under a new company name and is enjoying her new painting success. Some of her work can be commissioned and viewed at www.WallFashionsVA.com.
