Testimonials

DEDICATED ARTIST: I have known and collected Jana’s work for years. She is possibly the most dedicated artist I know to her craft, her students, and her values as a perpetual learner. Her pieces meld a sense of place geographically, high dedication to detail, along with touches of whimsy. It is a delight to have her work in my home and office.

I LOVE HER CLASSES: Jana educates me, both in art and in life. When she teaches a technique, she explains the "why" and how it "feels" — i.e., how does it "feel" to move a bead of water across the paper versus a dry brush on the paper. She uses stories of moments from her own life to encourage us in our journey of making art, helping us understand why it's hard at times, why there may be setbacks, but how to keep going and never give up.

LIFE-CHANGING!: I've studied with Jana Bussanich for nearly six years now, and I can't imagine not studying with her currently. She gave me all the tools I needed to pursue my artistic path, and now she coaches me through my growth as an artist.
