About The Artist

Hi my name is Janice Watts (Callow) and i was born in Southend on sea, Essex. I have dabbled with arts and crafts from a young age. My parents encouraged myself and my siblings to try out many Arts Crafts and Hobbies. I have specialised in Pet Portrait and mainly use Pastel Pencils. I am also a great animal lover and have been lucky to have owned dogs, cats, horses sheep and chickens, and to have lived in Devon with my children where we also converted a barn and built stables on our small holding in a lovely village. After leaving Devon at the beginning of 2000 i now live in the Southend on sea, Essex.

I work full time and have two terrific children who have flown the nest but encourage me in my art. Both siblings are arty in their own way, Katie has an eye for photography and makes Nappy Cakes for a hobby and Aaron is a keen airbrush artist, my mother Betty, also has an arty flair as she use to creat flower arrangements but now sews by hand patchwork quilts and knit’s  beautiful Arran jumpers. My late father Ray, was a photographer involved with commercial, industrial, wedding and portrait photography and won many competitions . My siblings are also arty, my sister has just taken up photography and my brother is a blacksmith. Were all a bit of ‘hands on’ lot really.

I have a little rescue Jack Russell called Gracie and she is such a little character, im sure she thinks she is a cross between a human and a meercat as she has taught herself to sit up and lean against the sofa ( on the blanket) next to me and if i dont take any notice of her she taps my arm. So cute!!

Important Information

Most of my animal paintings are commissions worked from photographs, so here are a few examples just to give you a taster. 


My art work is signed Janice Callow as this is my maiden name.

All my work has been by recommendations. I have wanted to make a wesite for some while so i hope you enjoy it.
   Most of the animal paintings and pet portrait are commisions and are painted with Pastels and Pastel Pencils. The 'Charlie the Chimp' was painted with Acrylic on a Wooden Canvas. Audry Hepburn, Elvis and the other Pop Art type are also commisions and these were painted with Acrylic on canvas. FOR SALE ones are marked. Feel free to comment and thank you for viewing. Jan x
