Hi,
My name is Jaana, this name is not to be confused with whatever pronunciation you were previously thinking, it is pronounced yawn-a, if you have finished reading this sentence I want to celebrate your ability to read and digest information. I tend to make jokes about having North American idenity issues due to being born in Canada, and growing up in the United States. It's so silly, but it has always made me feel like a tourist in whatever enviroment I have been inhabiting at the time. I have a constant internal need to observe and adapt to the space around me. It can cause a lot of introspection in my mind.
I have been around various artforms for as long as I can remember. I enjoy the introspective qualities that are demanded from creating artwork. I often struggle with my internal thoughts, doubts, and fear of people. When I work at creating something I let all of those negtive feedback loops dissipate, and I can finally focus on being present in my work. Art is where I find mindfulness. I hope my work conveys some sense of peace. I think we could all benefit from it.
