My art is heavily influenced by listening to classical music. This genre of music frees me and channels my creativity.

In January 2020 I took a leap of faith and I have put myself out as a professional artist. I started using Instagram @jana_dragonfly when I had my first professional art exhibition in The Sprout Art Gallery, October 2020. My e-shop www.jrcreativeart.com serves both as a tangible and downloadable (ready for printing A4 – A3) art gallery.

Currently, I am most known for my abstract pieces, which have been compared to stained glass windows, Gustav Klimt, or to the lands as seen from above. Some see African or Aboriginal influences due to the use of a primary color palette and the dotting technique. My abstract pieces are the result of expanding my original artwork ‘Abstract in Red’ 2006. A vibrant piece composed of primary colors in geometrically influenced composition.

Another key element in my work is the use of gold leaf and use of acrylic enamels. They too feature in my 2006 piece, although I have since developed several dierent ways of texturing and positioning the shimmer. Skulls are not my natural choice of an art topic, but during the ‘Human Skull’ commissioned work I have developed a newer approach to my dotting technique, which I then particularly enjoyed executing in the abstract painting ‘Sonavar’.

My fracture accident in July 2023 limited me what I could make during the first few months and this is how my colorful paper format ‘Framed Summer Abstracts’ came to exist. This has now become my top selling style of work.

My latest works include red pieces created in autumn 2023 ‘Ruby’, ‘Autumnal’, ‘Rowan’ and ‘Otherwise engaged’ and my vibrant ‘Variable Expanses’ and ‘Agamar’ were influenced by my trip to Morocco, 2024.
