She has been Chair of the Association of Canadian Women Composers as well as a member of the National Council of the Canadian League of Composers. In addition to her work as a composer, she is a visual artist, painting with acrylics. She often composes and paints in parallel, finding that the two media interact and lead in new directions. She is the translator of The Foundations of Modern Harmony by Karel Janeček from Czech into English. She lives near Binbrook, Ontario, and teaches piano and theory in Mississauga and at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. For more information see http://www.JanaSkarecky.com.
