About

Inspired by
Nature's Palette

Janet Bester is a South African artist and hobbyist photographer based in Rustenburg. Her paintings burst with colour and joy, capturing the beauty of country landscapes and little wonders of her garden.

A Passion for exploration and experimentation

Janet embraces the process of discovery within her art. She constantly explores different mediums, seeking new ways to create texture and add depth to her work. This playful exploration results in artwork that is perfectly imperfect and full of interest and character. Janet finds particular joy in capturing the delicate beauty of botanicals in watercolours and to document her observations in nature journals.

Art that makes
You Smile

Janet's artwork is, above all, "happy art." Her bold brushstrokes, vibrant colour palettes, and playful experimentation all come together to create pieces that evoke a sense of joy and optimism. Through her art, Janet invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in the everyday and to find inspiration in the natural world around them.

Be inspired to create

As a self-taught artist, Janet fully understand the challenges of balancing creativity with the responsibilities of daily life. That is why she created short video lessons to help beginner artists that have limited time – to stay inspired and improve their skills in different art mediums. Her self-paced video lessons are designed to fit into your busy schedule and offer practical guidance and inspiration.

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Janet also from shares her knowledge and enthusiasm for other creative hobbies, such as photography, gardening, flower pressing, sewing, crocheting, leatherwork, and embroidery.
