Mr. Sanders' works are quite collectible and he has won numerous awards. His smaller works, such as Across a Lake, are done en plein air, using a palette knife to apply their paint to the surface. His works are seen at the Donovan Gallery at Tiverton Four Corners, the Copley Society in Boston, and at galleries throughout New England. Janis Sanders paints energetically and dramatically to convey the atmosphere and light of New England.
