About the Artist: Janet Gogue

Janet Gogue, a working artist living in Grants Pass, Oregon, will create an original chalk art piece during Crossing the Blues. When Janet moved to Grants Pass from northern California in 2002, she turned her attention from fine art and print graphics to decorative wall art, such as interior and exterior murals, faux finishing, and hand-painted natural stone backsplash tiles. Janet has participated in all three years of Grants Pass' Bearfest, which opened many doors of opportunity for such a new-comer to the community. She has participated in five of the last six years of Art Along the Rogue, among numerous other public projects. While the majority of her work is in private homes, Janet has public work all over the Grants Pass area. "Rocky," from Bearfest 2004, resides at the River's Edge Restaurant on Rogue River Hwy; exterior murals can be seen at the Spa at Club Northwest, Morrison's Lodge and Exit Realty on 7th and E. Interior murals can be seen at Dutch Bros. Coffee House, Cascade Block, Blondies' Bistro, Tahiti Tans, Jon Robinson, DMD, Cascade Eye Care Center, Fusian Salon, Brant Darby DDS and Tutto Bene Ristorante Italiano.
