Janet DiPilla
4.9 (28)
Janet wears many hats but 'crazy scientist' is by far her favourite! Janet is a scientist, teacher, published author and artist based in the Macedon Ranges and loves showing the amazing results at the intersection of Art and Science!
When she is not wrangling her primary school she can be found exploring and nurturing her 10 acres with her family in Woodend or creating in the studio pushing boundaries and frequently asking the questions 'why' and 'why not'.Janet loves teaching adults and children and believes it's never too early or too late to try something new!
