Guild member since 1995
A native of Oklahoma, Jana worked at newspapers in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi before moving to Louisville in 2000. In addition to being a member of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi, she is a member of the Louisville Craftsmen’s Guild and a juried participant in the Kentucky Craft Marketing Program. She hand-builds pottery, both decorative and functional, using terracotta clay. Clay masks are her specialty. Her signature pieces have a cat motif. She makes cat-shaped masks, platters, bowls, spoon-rests, and pins. The cat's preoccupation comes from her love of cats. Other masks belong to the “My Women” series. They’re an exploration of the many paces and personalities of women.
