About Janet Kipp Tribus (pronounced

I lived much of my life in Upper Montclair.
              My father was Derick B. Kipp, a prominent Montclair architect
              for over 50 years. Inspired by him, my paintings often include
              architectural elements within the space. Pen and Ink house portraits
              were an early specialty, and I also created art work for Montclair's
              famous golf course architect, Rees Jones, for 16 years.
              
In 1992, my husband, Don, and I moved out
              to New Vernon in Morris County. I developed a love of rural NJ
              farmlands and often would paint en plein air out in Hunterdon
              and Warren Counties. My oil paintings are included among some
              of the most prominent collections in the area. Many of them have
              been commissioned while others were purchased through various
              art exhibits, in particular The Peck School and The Mountain
              Art Show.
              
In Vero Beach, I have exhibited and sold
              through The Admiralty Gallery and am the Chairman of John's Island's
              annual Very Own Art Show.
