Local artist uses watercolor to reflect the power of emotion

Lyrical watercolor with some playful pastels sprinkled in

Do your pART is a new art series where the Longmont Leader will feature the work of local artists. 

Influenced by Mother Nature, John Sargent, Frida Kahlo and John Waterhouse, Jana Hanavan has taken a philosophical approach to her art. 

Hanavan said her artistic style can be considered "lyrical watercolor with some playful pastels sprinkled in."

She uses watercolor to transport observers to a "beautiful realm of sparkling power" by looking at the world with zen-like observation. 

The Do you pART Series is a new addition to the Longmont Leader. In this series, we will share a local artist's favorite work while sharing a little bit about them. Artists are asked for fill out a questionnaire and send digital photos or videos of their art to [email protected]. All art styles are accepted and will be published at the discretion of the editor.
