Janna-Marie Peruta is a resident of Middletown, Connecticut. She was born in Meriden, Connecticut in September 1985, during storm Gloria. She resided in Meriden, Ct until she was 25 years old. She has always been a part of the art community, in many different forms. She was part of the Wesleyan University CCY program when she was 16 years old, studying poetry and non-fiction writing. She was a general studies major at Middlesex Community College before leaving to start a full time position as well as starting a family. Through out the years she has maintained a fascination for all things creative. She loves to paint and has been affiliated with art shows in her community. She is currently working on a collection of watercolor paintings for her solo show, due to happen sometime this coming winter. Her flare for photography has been a constant since she was a very little girl. She loved to take pictures and tote her camera around with her wherever she went. As Janna became an adult, the fascination with photography only intensified, thus, The art of JMPeruta was born. Janna wanted a company that would incorporate all of her art and did not want to be tied down to any specific art. The Art of JMPeruta focuses mainly on various mediums of painting, photography and tarot reading. Janna has been reading cards since she was 11 years old and has been reading them professionally since 2012. When doing readings, she likes to concentrate on the subjects life path, whether or not they are on the right one, how to get there if they are not and how to stay on it if they are. She aims to use her ability to read to help others find their own divine purpose in life and how to be the best version of themselves. She lives with her loving husband and two children. She has been married since 2007. Aside from artistic adventures, Janna likes to spend her time with her family, hiking and cooking. If you would like to keep up to date with Janna's progression please "like" her facebook page at www.facebook.com/theartofjmperuta or you can follow her blog at www.theartofjmperuta.blogspot.com she also maintains an instagram account as GYPSYHIKER

WESU 88.1FM

Six years ago this month, I signed on to be a staff member at WESU 88.1FM Middletown. I am so thankful for free form radio and the ability to produce a local arts show where the only rules I have to follow are from the FCC! We feature artists from every walk of life, playing every genre of music. We not only feature artists, but people in the community doing unique things.

WE NEED TO REPLACE THIS SOUND BOARD!
You can help do that with a donation

Our motto on VOICE of the CITY, is LIVE and LOCAL... this ain't no commercial radio! 20 years ago I won a competition to be a radio intern personality on a commercial radio station. After a year of  interning for a commercial station I decided that commercial radio was not for me! Too many rules on what you can play, say, and produce. I thought my radio days were over until I came across WESU while writing for the Middletown Press. The rest is history!

For a $35 donation you can get this cool T-Shirt like Mr. Sparks! 

Today I making a personal plea to our guests, and our listeners. Please help support this open-free- form-non-commercial, nonprofit radio station, meet its pledge goal!! We are only $6,000 shy. I know times are tight, believe me! As an artist myself, I allocate funds for artistic investments like WESU. Where else are you going to get your music to be featured? EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS! Even 5 bucks helps. So what are you waiting for? GIVE TODAY (o: WESU DONATE NOW!
