Artist Profile

Janet McCrorie

Janet has been painting for over twenty years and in that time she has developed a unique way of depicting movement which is mainly expressed in her paintings of Scottish Dancers. Her aim is to invoke a sense of pride and nostalgia in these old traditional dances and she is regularly commissioned to paint specific tartans and celebration events such as weddings. Another subject of interest to Janet is sports events where the overriding theme is movement, but also capturing the individual body shapes in different sports such as Rugby and Golf. She is happy to accept a challenge in depicting the unique movement in any sport. A relatively new subject for Janet is live music events expressing the excitement, movement, lighting and atmosphere of watching performers on a stage. Janet is often asked for permission to use her work to illustrate publications including the book of new dances produced for the 100th anniversary of the Glasgow branch of the RSCDS.
