Janna Jones

A West Australian native with a traditional and "respectable" education and career in science. Janna would use her leave to backstage manage local and international fashion weeks for a few years prior to taking a big leap and moving to Milan in 2011 (not speaking the language or knowing a soul) to pursue art & design.
In Italy Janna fell irrevocably in love with luxury leather spent the next 8 years obsessively bringing back slow, considered and sustainable luxury leathergoods from her Australian coastal home. Showing at Australian Fashion week annually until 2020 (covid).
Never the keen to be a one trick pony, Janna took another scary leap (of her own imagining) into oil painting (also during covid). After years of illustrating, and a sketch a day, it felt time for the daunting permanency of oil paints.
Today as she navigates the word "artist" and pursues extensive creative passions; Janna invites you to experience your own stories and emotions in her work. A dialogue; conversation between the work and you, the observer. An opportunity to view your own perceptions and projections.
Know that you are not alone, we are sharing this rollercoaster of life together, and if fear is excitement without breath – let us breathe into excitement!
