Upstart painter, Janna Watson is already proving a keen sensibility to the ideal and esoteric merit of abstract painting. Each painting, ranging in color, texture, concept, have an eloquence of their own.
Even Rust, her experimental triptych, was painted to probe at the deterioration of commercial values. Raised in the small town of Flesherton Ontario, Janna enjoyed growing up in the serenity of the country. With Kool-aid Lips and staticy hair, she caught frogs, built tree forts and ran shoeless through weeds. These were some of her most memorable past times.

Her grandfather, the late artist/designer Arthur Bonnett, was a great source of artistic inspiration. He would bring paint and paper, along with gentle critique and insight, setting in motion Janna's proclivity to the arts. With a desire to explore social structure and culture, Janna spent two summers in Eastern Europe, traveling and working in orphanages. Particularly moved by the economic state of former Yugoslavia, post 1999 NATO bombings, a restoration of muse began to form in her work, arousing thought-provoking and centered paintings, installations creating vision out of detritus. Janna's style is light and whimsical, although not without a touch of melancholy and lyric.
