Janet Boyko is a San Francisco Bay Area visual artist, photographer, and educator. Her work explores making, technology, and place, framing everyday acts of creation as a form of collective authorship of the environments we inhabit. Through sustained photographic series and process-driven projects that blend documentary observation, close readings of material gestures, and typology-inspired analysis, she documents the adaptations and small interventions that quietly shape public and private landscapes.

Janet received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Virginia Tech and a Master’s degree in Real Estate Development. After a career in urban design and community planning, she shifted her focus to photography and developing her artistic voice. She studied photography in the Hartford MFA program under artists including Robert Lyons, Michael Varhenwald, Alec Soth, and Irina Rozovsky. She has exhibited work in galleries across the United States.

In addition to her photographic practice, Janet is an avid maker—bookbinding, collage, and sashiko—and perpetually reconfigures her workspace to suit her projects, small personal interventions that echo the everyday acts she documents.
