New Collection: A Study in Oil and Water

Jana L. Bussanich explores the interplay of opposing elements in these mediums and life. Oil and water are often viewed as incompatible and unable to mix. However, in their separation, they still share a relationship. The artist delves into the connection between conflicting forces—vulnerability and resilience, memory and present- through a blend of oil and water-based techniques. This collection reflects a personal journey of harmonizing childhood memories and adult understanding; set against California's redwoods and Pacific coastline, Redwood Lullaby, in particular, reveals that even in contrast, there can be a deep sense of compassion without reconciliation.
