Janet Griffin-Scott was born in Toronto but was raised in Midland, Ontario, where she had an outlet for love of horses and nature at an early age. Her first memory was of holding a crayon and drawing a horse. As a teenager, Janet showed horses over fences successfully at the schooling show, country fair and Club level. Janet attended York University's BFA program and majored in Graphic Design, Photography and Illustration. It was a four year program, and she graduated with Honours. She then worked in downtown Toronto in Ad agencies and art studios as a freelance artist for the next ten years.
To date Janet has been the creator and manufacturer of hundreds and hundreds of new gift products that feature her equine art: Framed prints, Greeting Cards, Notebooks, Binders, and other Stationery Items. Her work can now be found in over 650 stores in Canada and the US. It has been a few years of great excitement for Janet, seeing her work enjoyed by many people. New product development has become a challenging and exciting way to bring her art to the retailer. In addition, Janet has joined the lucrative world of Licensing after attending as an exhibitor, the New York Stationery Show. Companies license her work for their own product: China, Flags, Coasters, Floormats, and more Cards. Her products are in other countries around the world like Australia, the UK, Ireland. Germany, Scotland and many others.
