Janée Reeder is an artist living and working in Dallas, Texas with her attorney husband, Bart Reeder and three-year old Lhasa Apso, Maggie. She paints, draws, sculpts, and teaches art. She has studied art in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and West Texas (Abilene and Lubbock).

Her three most influential instructors have been Kathy Cunning of Weatherford, Texas; Robert Green of Abilene Christian University of Abilene, Texas; and Hugh Gibbons of Texas Tech University of Lubbock, Texas. She has also studied privately under Judy Sager, the Artist-in-Residence for the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth. She minored in Art at Abilene Christian University, ultimately completing more hours in art than in her primary field of study, Biology. She had begun graduate work in Art Education at Texas Tech University when she was accepted to Law School, and chose to pursue independent art study while obtaining her law degree.

Since earning her Jurisprudence Doctorate, she has taught art in Texas public schools as she developed her natural artistic talents and expanded her skills. Her broad experience includes teaching art at various public school levels, teaching private art lessons through Studio J and FunEd in Dallas, and working at the Milan Gallery in Fort Worth as instructor and salesperson. Currently, she teaches private lessons in Dallas through Studio J.

Her travels have exposed her to Israel, Poland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, France and England. She also frequently visits Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, to maintain a strong connection to current materials and methods while also drawing inspiration from the local artists and atmosphere. Her passion for art pervades her daily activities, leading her to recognize subjects and unique images around her.

Janée's style is representational expressionism, with subject matter focusing primarily on architecture, still-life, floral, and figurative work. Her style is characterized by a balance of loose and tight brushwork and detailing. She strives to infuse her images with exciting color combinations to convey her fascination with the effects created by light on forms and interiors.
