Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, Jana has always had equal appreciation for technical and artistic craft. After studying biocybernethics and graduating with a Master of Science, she pursued her career in computer science. Shortly after, just by chance, her young family explored an opportunity of living and working in the USA and Canada.

After finally settling in Ottawa, living abroad with 2 cute, smart little children, the constant traveling between continents found Jana conflicted in persuading her career in IT, but she never regretted putting her family first.

She had always cultivated her craft and love for beautiful things, especially fashion as a form of art, so she started working towards her fashion design degree. That allowed her to spend more valuable time with her family and kids. She graduated from Richard Robinson Academy of Fashion Design with Summa Cum Laude, and stayed at her alma mater as a teacher of fashion design. She then opened her own fashion design studio, and later combined her efforts with her business partner. As a fashion designer, Jana participated and organized many fashion shows, presentations and fundraising events. While working with modeling agencies and many skilled professionals, in her spare time she practiced her artistic skills in drawing and painting.

Her passion for art became her priority after the pandemic. Now, she fully embraces her calling and focuses on honing her fine art skills, beautifying the life of herself and her clients with her soulful and whimsical paintings.

Jana has now two adult children and she lives with her husband and their orange tabby cat in Ottawa.
