Janna Blackburn an Abstract Artist living in Maricopa, Arizona. I recently started dipping my pallet knives, paintbrushes, and fingers into my paints after many years of not even giving any thought to art. It’s been an amazing wonderful progression of self-discovery. Fluid art and intuitive abstracts has helped me to identify a part of myself which presented a control aspect that was not particularly healthy or healing. My art journey has helped to heal parts of myself emotional and spiritual being by giving me a voice to express that have been damaged by long term health issues. The paints provide a platform for self-expression to focus on the visual beauty that my surroundings have to offer instead of the reminders for things I cannot control. Currently I've been exploring more outside the realm of fluid art painting, by adding texture to my artwork. This has brought in a new twist of excitement to see if I can capture the same feelings that my fluid art has been able to produce. What I strive for in each of my pieces is a sense of serenity. I want to draw the viewer in by exploring all areas of the canvas while giving a place to rest your eyes before moving to another area of the artwork.
