Janie Porter<br />
Art, landscape, seascape and birds<br />
have always filled Janie’s life. She<br />
painted and drew from when she was<br />
old enough to hold a pencil or brush.<br />
As a child she would watch the trees<br />
and sky through the schoolroom<br />
window when she should have been<br />
listening to the teacher. The rolling<br />
hills and countryside coloured her<br />
childhood in England, where she often<br />
spent time rescuing and nurturing<br />
birds that had fallen out of nests or<br />
had broken wings. Aged eight she saw<br />
Cornwall for the first time – the cliffs,<br />
the sea, the wheeling gulls took her<br />
breath away.<br />
Janie attended art school extramurally<br />
while still at high school.<br />
In her early twenties, travelling the<br />
hippie trail from London to Kathmandu<br />
from the editor’s desk<br />
HARD WORK usually brings good<br />
rewards.<br />
In Ethan De Rose’s case it is a bronze<br />
medal at the Winter Youth Olympics in<br />
Switzerland (see page 1).<br />
The Mt Pleasant 17-year-old was part of<br />
a mixed nation team which took the bronze.<br />
Ethan started speed skating at four. Twelve years or so later<br />
he is competing amongst the best of his age group in the world.<br />
That takes extreme fitness and a lot of dedication. All top<br />
sportsmen and women need that. But what gets them ahead of<br />
the elite is that little bit more ticker and one per cent more up<br />
top.<br />
On Friday, Ethan continues his journey at the junior world<br />
championships in Italy.<br />
All the best.<br />

she met and fell in love with a Kiwi.<br />
When she came with him to his<br />
home she fell in love again, this time<br />
with the taonga of New Zealand, the<br />
ocean, the native birds, the mountains<br />
and the wilderness.<br />
About twenty years ago her friend<br />
Galina Kim who was an art mentor to<br />
Janie encouraged her to start using a<br />
palette knife. She never looked back.<br />
Janie studied at the University of Fine<br />
Arts in Vietnam in 2005 and there she<br />
fused her use of palette knife and love<br />
of NZ landscape with layers and layers<br />
of pigment and lacquer.<br />
Now she lives on Banks Peninsula/<br />
Horomaka and spends her days<br />
absorbing and painting the wonder<br />
and beauty of her surroundings.<br />
Observing and reflecting. Sea and birds and land. Walking,<br />
exploring, wondering at its beauty.<br />
Celebrating once again the incredible work of our conservationists.<br />
