Janet studied fiber arts at Massachusetts College of Art, and painting at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. After weaving and selling functional items (rugs, scarves, shawls, pillows etc) for 8 years, the weaving and  painting merged into tapestry, her primary medium since 1983. Her work has been exhibited in national and international venues, including tapestry, fiber art and all media exhibitions. 

"Tapestry weaving is magical. Under over under over, making fabric and an image at the same time. You can start with a pile of yarn and end up with a unicorn!"  -Janet Austin

Why does Janet love WBOS?

"I love demonstrating how tapestries are made, answering questions, and showing my studio full of yarns and looms!" - Janet Austin
