Janet Hamilton Bedford was born in New Jersey in 1936. Her persistent dream of seeing the Rocky Mountains came to realization in 1981 and her art has reflected her love of the western wildlife, landscape and lifestyle ever since. Janet showed artistic talent as a young child and studied with noted New Jersey artist Edwin D. Mott while still under the age of ten. Later, portrait studies were with Jacques Turner of New York and Paris.

In 2000, Janet was one of 13 invited artists participating in the Wyoming Arts Council's travelling Artbox exhibit, "Animal Stories." Her entries in the Wyoming Conservation Stamp Competition have made the "Top 40" four times including 4th Place for the 2003 stamp. She is represented by Kilian Gallery in Cody.
