On April 28, 2018, Janna was invited by one of her dear friends and fellow artists, Liana Voskanyan, to an art showcase that featured acrylic fluid paintings. With a passion for travel and cultural enrichment, Janna has continued to find herself inspired by the beautiful and bountiful shores of the Black Sea that raised her and the warm beaches of the Pacific Ocean and stunning landscapes of the southwest that welcomed her with open arms. Soon after, she continued her education and earned a degree in Management which allowed her to gain valuable knowledge of the American business landscape while maintaining an active role as a mother to her daughter and two sons, all of whom have inherited Janna’s creative genes and are talented artists in their own right. In 1990, Janna put her fashion dreams on hold in hopes of pursuing the “American Dream” and immigrated to the United States. This boundless imagination and hunger to expand her creative passion led Janna to pursue further education at a fashion academy that fueled her entrepreneurial spirit in starting a small business as a fashion designer in Georgia. Growing up surrounded with the beauty of nature, Janna found herself drawn to expressive outlets including art, poetry, and writing for her high school newspaper.
