At the time, Bovec was still largely "undiscovered" by tourists, and was making its developing strides towards becoming a ski resort.<br /><br />This incredibly beautiful area is truly breathtaking every time one visits. It shocks all your senses with its colors, fresh cool air, the scent of grass, (and depending on the season - mushrooms, and flowers). The small town of Bovec is settled in a valley, surrounded by the lush dark green mountains, some of which, with their higher altitudes, turn into pristine stone-grey and snow-white peaks.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Her technique, deeply rooted in the spontaneous and gestural act of mark-making, is a homage to calligraphy and symbolic communication.<br /><br />Her paintings evoke the ethereal beauty of natural forms, resembling elements as diverse as abandoned landscapes, ancient scribbles, and celestial bodies. <br /><br />The tension between the fluid calmness of watercolor and the energetic rhythm of drawing is central to her work. Watercolor as a medium holds inherent qualities of intimacy, lightness, and spontaneity. <br /><br />It's this interplay of opposites—a dance between control and surrender—that infuses Ana's paintings with life. <br /><br />Artwork Archive had the chance to chat with Ana Žanić about her creative process, why she doesn't think about the audience while she's painting, and how Artwork Archive makes her art career more manageable! <br /><br /><i>Do you have a favorite or most satisfying part of your process? </i><br /><br />The moment just before I start, standing in front of a blank piece of watercolor paper is full of potential.<br /><br />I don't yet know where exactly I am going, but I am ready to take the plunge and be surprised! That is my favorite part of my creative process, and It never gets old. <br /><br /> <br /><i>The tension between fluidity and energy is a central theme in your work. How do you balance these opposing qualities when creating a painting? </i><br /><br />Most of my work consists of watercolor washes juxtaposed with the intricate mark-making.<br /><br />I believe this balance results from respecting the materials' inherent qualities; I let the watercolor be fluid, transparent, and organic, and then contrast it with the drawing's natural rhythm and energy of line and mark-making.<br /><br />The opposing qualities end up working in partnership and enhance each other. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><i><br />What impact do you hope your work will have on those who view it? </i><br /><br />What interests me in my work is capturing the moment, a sense of life and intimacy.<br /><br />Even when I create on a large scale I want the result to be gentle and delicate—there are always tiny marks that draw you in, invite you to come very close, and be really intimate with the work. <br /><br />I love when my art speaks to the viewer, on this quiet, intimate level, and opens up like a new mysterious portal to enter. However, I don't think about the audience when I create. During the process, I only listen to my voice.<br /><br />Thinking about the audience is very dangerous for me—I find it both kills the joy of making and results in sub-par work. <br /><br /> <i><br />You mention the importance of intuitive and spontaneous processes in your art practice. Could you elaborate on how you approach this aspect of your work?</i> <br /><br />My art practice gives me the license to be unconcerned with the outcomes, and to enjoy a sense of flow. <br /><br />I grew up in a creative home. There was a constant exchange of ideas and lots of music and humor.<br /><br />My parents were direct, honest, spontaneous, and creative people. They brought me up without many boundaries. I believe my intuitive approach <br /><br /><i><br />What does success as an artist mean to you? </i><br /><br />The idea of success changes over time and with experience, and is, of course, very different for each individual.<br /><br />When I was younger, being accepted to art school felt like an enormous success; I remember I felt like I was on top of the world.<br /><br />Later, success meant having my first solo exhibition. I always wanted to know if I could make a living off my work, and when I started working with galleries, I felt that was the next big accomplishment.<br /><br />However, the importance of staying true to my vision always was and still is a number one priority for me. I would say that, for me, success is being able to do what I love and also be recognized and rewarded for that work. <br /><i><br /> <br />How do you handle creative blocks and find the motivation to keep creating? </i><br /><br />I don't really experience creative blocks. I never get tired of the creative process. Of course, there can be various obstacles in the path that make it difficult to create.<br /><br />If you are sick, caring for a newborn or a family member, if you don't have much time, if you don't have a studio space ... all those things are very real issues.<br /><br />Whenever I find myself in front of an obstacle, I simplify my process. I simplify as much as I can and set very small yet attainable goals. Then I say to myself "One step at a time." <br /><br /><i>What advice would you give an artist who’s just starting out in their professional career? </i><br /><br />So many aspects of an artistic career are unpredictable and closely tied to specific circumstances, chance, and luck. <br /><br />Hone in on your own voice and listen to it with trust. Ultimately, your voice is your main guide.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;

It is often taboo for fine artists to talk about themes of motherhood in their work. The unspoken thought is that you have you to choose between raising a family or being a serious artist. This exhibition celebrates women who choose to do both. "<br /></i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;">When I first became a parent, I was shocked to realize there was, suddenly, no time for anything other than caring for my newborn.</span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">I was healing from a C-section, suffering from insomnia, breastfeeding around the clock, changing diapers and keeping up with our baby's non-existent circadian rhythm.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Both my husband's and my family were overseas. At first, we invited my parents to help, and they stayed with us for three months. In retrospect, I would say their stay added more complexity to this new change than it was straight forward helpful. Most of these experiences are probably very typical of new parenthood. However, when one is an artist, there is a constant inner voice yearning to speak out, urging you to create. That voice doesn't pay attention to your current life circumstances. It does not know how to hit pause. It doesn't care how much time in a day you have available.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">After weeks of zero studio time, I realized I needed to create a well-defined intentional project; a daily routine that would be attainable within many of my constraints. That is not how I naturally created art up to that point in my life.</span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">The project was: create three hundred and sixty-five 9"x12" watercolors with a minimal color palette until Albert's first birthday. </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't need to create every day; I didn't need to follow any other "guidelines" other than create and make it happen. The task was small enough, yet over a course of one year the work, obviously, grew and a stack of accumulated pieces got taller and taller. It was a proof I was still creating. The physical proof was there for me to see and remind me that "I" was still there.

my work in a solo exhibition, titled “Arcadia” at Laura A. Sprague Art Gallery
of Joliet Junior College.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The large open space and terrific lighting was an excellent opportunity for me to
showcase a larger body of work; I decided to create a 13-year
cross-section of my practice. I focused on the the
most significant “markers” of those past thirteen years, while making sure I created a coherent exhibition grouping. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Thanks to great help from Suzanne Gorgas - Gallery Director and Professor at JJC, the resulting installation had a beautiful
flow.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Here is a selection of
the images from the exhibit, my artist talk and reception. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">At the bottom of the post is a walk-through video of "Arcadia".<br /></span></p>

And I can only reflect upon this journey of artistic practice as being always deeply meaningful and fulfilling; I have been so privileged to create freely, with all the passion and joy, the kind of (art)work that feeds my soul and fulfills my being. And, to quote here Mary Cassatt: "<b>I have had a joy from which no one can rob me - I have been able to touch some people with my art.</b>"<br /><br />For me 2022 started with a local solo exhibition "Inner Wanderings", the inaugural exhibition of the newly-opened Geneva Center for the Arts, here in Geneva, Illinois. "Inner Wanderings" included works from my "Reef" and "Origin" series, as well as my "Gathering" ceramics.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7jiUofKOLHG1AR8hVpBjD2NnhXR76kxzGmGKXH_cyiLvL2iXVuQpIq1aNM42igmLe-Wfj6HlM38u4cD0EnPek_ukeAvARzbIOUQNHioTrPSdubi8-mqTiZyQaPP_8amL0hmX85bZje50RhWRw5SQuyKSBeCee4QUgkvb5T4st4yiQhE8JVA/s1600/DSC_3133.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7jiUofKOLHG1AR8hVpBjD2NnhXR76kxzGmGKXH_cyiLvL2iXVuQpIq1aNM42igmLe-Wfj6HlM38u4cD0EnPek_ukeAvARzbIOUQNHioTrPSdubi8-mqTiZyQaPP_8amL0hmX85bZje50RhWRw5SQuyKSBeCee4QUgkvb5T4st4yiQhE8JVA/s320/DSC_3133.jpg" width="320" /></a></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-7ApdXAY2cVty0JiM82fWVv-7P142whfKsYCGA5fm9zwlUV4g5aDnyObkdA-ERUUeU_CQlE0mIBJ3sjW_mEFutdEBRTrrpLCUmb-G8uWctai5p_pGFXe-FUA_jmXLR4U-Q41wz5rk5BrhY2B8lfs7iihO3UQXy_nrfgyCfHf1gv0fLRdsQw/s1600/DSC_3178-Edit.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-7ApdXAY2cVty0JiM82fWVv-7P142whfKsYCGA5fm9zwlUV4g5aDnyObkdA-ERUUeU_CQlE0mIBJ3sjW_mEFutdEBRTrrpLCUmb-G8uWctai5p_pGFXe-FUA_jmXLR4U-Q41wz5rk5BrhY2B8lfs7iihO3UQXy_nrfgyCfHf1gv0fLRdsQw/s320/DSC_3178-Edit.jpg" width="320" /></a></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRSzc8KFstjBHdH1OjkPLUksHYpWEpDFAbMMRptAVlTlDL0GruBOXXOE53zjM4AgIIXCA35BgDRr7tq7UOX9XY3nSbTKMd5sAwMLR_JEWkJrpsqsbjPxhRGOnp-u04fOu_jp-faCwgmICqQ6piuOjYQEx7k91mOdsqJveSxaihyvoNU2saHA/s1600/DSC_3140.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRSzc8KFstjBHdH1OjkPLUksHYpWEpDFAbMMRptAVlTlDL0GruBOXXOE53zjM4AgIIXCA35BgDRr7tq7UOX9XY3nSbTKMd5sAwMLR_JEWkJrpsqsbjPxhRGOnp-u04fOu_jp-faCwgmICqQ6piuOjYQEx7k91mOdsqJveSxaihyvoNU2saHA/s320/DSC_3140.jpg" width="320" /> <br /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">During spring I was mainly involved with the preparations for the "Casting Currents" exhibition at <a href="https://www.walkerfineart.com/ana-zanic">Walker Fine Arts</a> in Denver.

Thank you Angela Truscott and Tara Axford for this lovely interview and wonderful presentation of my work! Here is the <a href="https://www.fibreartstaketwo.com/articles/zanic/">link</a> to the article that includes the video/interview. <br /><br />The first day of summer was marked by our long awaited family trip to our homeland, Croatia. This trip was in the making for several years, and just as it was about to happen - it was stopped short due to the COVID -19 pandemic. Finally, this was the summer for our Croatia/Slovenia trip, and what a trip it was!<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjysC6y4gVjaduKzSGarom7vaKWojtaLc1i3VLau-V_RhbfTnrEKNLxn_Jp9SZ8wyxcScVbS1MJnSjQhdEEBy0LhNqbwt4ifR8vFsd-6O1gzDTbXUL3ICL2x8dUFloTpK9in241dU60vKQ-HqX0JnEmMfAcgslCP40hFPoN5xuIpUHVPp-JRw/s1600/Apple2022-06-06%2012.16.06.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

During a later visit to my studio, Dr. Ritsma mentioned her interest in showing my work at Schingoethe. The concept for the exhibition evolved as a dialogue between my work and the work of Rita Grendze, a fellow artist and a good friend.<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">Rita and I have known each other for over a decade. When we met</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"> we </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">were both resident artists at Water Street Studios (local art center in Batavia, IL). The two of us had many, many conversations revolving around art and our own art practices. Apart from mutual studio visits and already exhibiting together in several group exhibitions, there are some interesting connecting threads to our experiences.<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">Both of us have a strong interest in the making process and the inherent qualities of our materials. We both create with a deep sense of emotionality; be it reflected in our work at times as contemplative, or bold. Finally, our practices are on a deep level shaped and influenced by our multiculturalisms; Rita's Latvian parents immigrated after the WWII, and strong cultural ties with the Latvian community have always been an integral part of Rita's life. I moved to the US from Croatia in my mid-twenties, and find myself learning every day about settling in a new country as an adult.<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">The final concept for the exhibition "Remembrance of Things Present" came together as a dialogue between Dr. Ritsma, Rita and me, through many meetings, discussions and ideas exchanged. Throughout the course of the exhibit Rita and had the opportunity to present our work, through several artist talks and tours, as well as student workshops, and it is exciting to know this exhibition was toured by several hundred UA students, faculty, staff, and members of the community.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuZ2y1vKM1RoqIRFsJEhSsk9OtALLlCebZBt8LT3p4Lh05mZEiN9ofiV7N4zd2aMw43hyRIishXyGIt1aRZfsyoEuTs3bAJ7NC70r3ldaIl5cSiXM8DPlCWP-c2DWvcLKuogH3mF0196woc7gc-Gs7y0eO3mU3EBg_VOTZ4wq4PDCE8GwElQ/s2000/220907_SK_exhibit-012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1461" data-original-width="2000" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuZ2y1vKM1RoqIRFsJEhSsk9OtALLlCebZBt8LT3p4Lh05mZEiN9ofiV7N4zd2aMw43hyRIishXyGIt1aRZfsyoEuTs3bAJ7NC70r3ldaIl5cSiXM8DPlCWP-c2DWvcLKuogH3mF0196woc7gc-Gs7y0eO3mU3EBg_VOTZ4wq4PDCE8GwElQ/w400-h293/220907_SK_exhibit-012.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">(from the introduction by Schingeothe's Director, Natasha Ritsma:</span></span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"> "Ana Žanić and Rita Grendze create process-driven abstract work that is poetic, playful, and evocative.</span></span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">Inspired by literature, material exploration and meditative practices, their works in the exhibition explore the themes of migration, memory, language and nature of beauty.<br /><br />Grendze creates installations, sculptures and drawings that are bold, colorful, and tactile as well as thoughtful and compassionate at its core.<br /><br />Žanić is known for her stunning watercolors and ceramics which are meditative, contemplative, and ethereal.")</span></span></i></p>Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296983401013941593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14534884.post-65449026239241866002022-07-07T11:38:00.003-07:002022-07-07T13:05:40.282-07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">CASTING CURRENTS</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.walkerfineart.com/casting-currents-online-viewing-room" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;">Walker Fine Art Denver, CO </span></span></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"> May 13, - July 16, 2022</span></span><br /></p><p><span style="color: #444444;">I am thrilled to have six of my new works from the "Reef" series on view right now at Walker Fine Art.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;">The prominent location in front of the gallery highlights these pieces so well, as they are bathed in daylight, glowing and luminous.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;">This work ties in so appropriately to my recent (June!) and long-awaited visit to my first homeland Croatia, and its beautiful Adriatic coast, the inspiration for my Reef series.</span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;">Below: "Reef" triptych, 80"x40" each, watercolor on paper</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHX1tW6ZAikZZCgPBrXFPuHyFadS4urflUGRsv2IMwRttIgdnSUdyy_-QlJTt6fMxtXu7yGbSHly1lYxCZsa-_zWQ0uBWQhmpvkm-yfb6dVQGi3Efuf2U82X5I1fx8zWnz0Q2GM84dXeVs1EZ3mj0wxCFVu3I-lEfUJbCwKHXRaCaxD3uYdw/s1697/DSC03437.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1443" data-original-width="1697" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHX1tW6ZAikZZCgPBrXFPuHyFadS4urflUGRsv2IMwRttIgdnSUdyy_-QlJTt6fMxtXu7yGbSHly1lYxCZsa-_zWQ0uBWQhmpvkm-yfb6dVQGi3Efuf2U82X5I1fx8zWnz0Q2GM84dXeVs1EZ3mj0wxCFVu3I-lEfUJbCwKHXRaCaxD3uYdw/s320/DSC03437.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><i>From Walker Fine Art:</i></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><i>"It is fascinating, inspiring, and reflective; it is pure and tranquil while simultaneously tempestuous and forbidding.

The first time I visited, I knew it would be a beautiful place to exhibit my work. The organic feel of the polished concrete floor, newly painted walls, subdued grey ceiling and large windows with lots of natural light all felt very inviting. </span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Plus, being a rather solitary creator and an introvert by nature, I felt, especially during this long period of pandemic, it is a great time to connect with the local community. My work has always had a deep connection with a sense of serenity and beauty, and I feel we all need those in our lives right now.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I chose work from several of my series of watercolors, as well as a smaller selection of my "Gathering" ceramic installation. </span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With a limited number of people allowed in the space at a time, the opening reception was remarkably well visited; about 75 people came in throughout the night, and instead of 6-8pm, it went on until after 9pm. This was by far my biggest social event since the start of the pandemic. I was hesitant about an "in person" reception at first, but was in the end quite happy with the turn out, seeing so many friends I've missed seeing, some of whom drove for a while to get here and see the show.<br /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sharing my work always feels great. Not everyone needs to be blown away and taken by it, and that is never my wish, or any kind of goal. I have been an artist for all my life and know very well that the only true value is in doing your most sincere work. So sharing is not 100% easy, but most people who come to an opening are genuinely interested and curious about the art, its evolution and its creator. I always feel the feedback I receive is an invaluable gift.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I also had a fantastic opportunity to share about my work with Natasha Ritsma, PhD, Director of Schingoethe Center at Aurora University during an Artist Talk. I posted an abridged version of this talk and it can be viewed here:<br /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My days, as a parent of two still young kids (6 and 11) are always filled with action, and I often need to make decisions and do things quicker than my personal inclination would be, had I the luxury to have it my way. But then again, who has that luxury? I am a slow paced soul, I like to reflect and set aside time at the end of each year to look back and see where I was and where I got. <br />So here it goes, a shorter version than I might like, but something, nevertheless. And something is better than nothing. <br /><span> </span>In spite of the still ongoing pandemic I was happy to participate in two great exhibitions:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I debuted my work with twelve watercolors at <a href="https://olsonlarsen.com/artist/ana-zanic" target="_blank">Olson-Larsen Galleries</a> (Des Moines, IA) in <a href="https://olsonlarsen.com/show/olson-larsen-galleries-dreamland" target="_blank">"Dreamland"</a>, a four artist exhibition (featuring work by Naomi Friend, Jane Gilmor, Jeanine Coupe Ryding, Ken Smith, and myself, in April and May 2021.)<br /><span> ..</span>from the introduction to the show: <i>"Dreams are ephemeral and elusive. Much like washes of watercolor, words in a passing conversation, moments caught on film, and nearly endangered species. The artists in Dreamland are dealing with fleeting feelings, shapes, colors, ideals, ambitions, and strength in one dream.".</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>In September/October /November I showed seven of my watercolors in "Winds of Change", another four-artist exhibition (with Helen Gotlib, Ahavani Mullen, Allison Svoboda and myself) at <a href="https://artwork.chicagoartsource.com/artists/117-ana-zanic/works/">gallery 1871 </a>in Chicago. I love the tranquil feeling of all the pieces in this show. They are, each in its own voice, deeply connected with nature, and are tied with subtle lyricism.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>In 2021 my work was covered in several online and print publications: I was contacted by <a href="https://curatednow.ca/mark-walton/" target="_blank">Mark Walton</a> of <a href="https://curatednow.ca/ana-zanic-one-breath/" target="_blank">the Covert Collective</a> ("a gathering of visual art curators from across Canada, sharing the work of artists they love, and work that inspires them. Digitally platformed and branded as curated. the ad hoc group celebrates the artists and work that makes them think"). Mark discovered my work on Instagram, and was inspired by my pandemic mark making sketchbooks. He wrote a beautiful essay about my work titled <a href="https://curatednow.ca/ana-zanic-one-breath/" target="_blank">"In One Breath"</a>.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>In connection to my practice during the pandemic times I was also featured on Hyperallergic's website in <a href="https://hyperallergic.com/636445/a-view-from-the-easel-during-times-of-quarantine-44/" target="_blank">"A View from the Easel During Times of Quarantine"</a><br /><br /><span> </span>I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I got listed on <a href="https://www.artsy.net/collection/women-painters-on-the-rise " target="_blank">"Women Artists to Watch"</a>, among 60 women artists from around the globe. Since Artsy features works by 150,000 artists globally, making it to a list of "60 women artists on the rise" (as Artsy states!), is pretty exciting.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>My work was also published in the "In Her Studio" publication, with a 7-page story titled "Making my Mark". It was fun walking into a nearby Barnes and Noble, picking up the current issue and flipping through the pages featuring my work.<br /><br /><span> </span>In November, </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">during the Giving Tuesday, </span>I decided to put two of my small Origin Aqueous watercolors for bidding on Instagram, in an effort to raise funds for the local Mooseheart Child City and School. I am grateful my artwork has the power to help children in need, and that in just a few hours I was able to raise $750 for a great cause.<br /><span> </span>Looking forward to 2022, I already have several shows scheduled (solo exhibition "Inner Wanderings" here locally at Geneva Arts Center in January/February 2022 and a spring/summer exhibition at <a href="http://www.walkerfineart.com/ana-zanic" target="_blank">Walker Fine Art</a> in Denver), with a few others that are in the making.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Lastly; I am truly grateful </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">that another year in my life was filled with </span> what I love doing the most - my art practice. I am ever so grateful to my family, my galleries, collectors, and followers, and all the amazing supporters of my artistic practice. Some of you are making sure I have the time to create, some of you are taking care of the sales, some are passionate about collecting my work, and some of you just inspire me with your acts of kindness - with your words of inspiration and love.

Every one of your senses screams “I know this” but cannot figure out what “this” is or why it knows it. They take on the form of something both organic and subliminal, communicating to us of the past (back to pre-history) and our deeply troubled emotional state we find ourselves in through the pandemic.<br /><br />Her colour palettes are very natural and gently reassuring… mother earth will take us back into her bosom and help us heal. The meticulous marks speak of long journeys past, and reach out to our future selves to remind us that we have struggled before and have overcome those obstacles… we can do it again.<br /><br />I reached out to Ana and asked her a few questions.<br /><br /><b><i>Your work is a very strong combination of the abstract and the meticulous, and you work in many different sizes (the notebooks to huge wall pieces). Can you speak to how long it takes you to complete these?</i></b><br /><br />Smaller formats like a 9″x12″ piece can take as little as a day or two if I am looking for a simple statement, where the piece feels as if it happened in one breath. In other cases it can take me much longer, as I am coming back several times to the same piece with more details. Sometimes the work is not finished even after a few months. The really large paintings (like 99″x55″) can take me a few months or a year (or more) to get to the place where I feel the piece is resolved and finished.<br /><br />My small sketchbooks, the ones I started during this pandemic are an ongoing process – I have been working on them for a full year now. So far I have eight of those pandemic sketchbooks, and none of them is completely finished.<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIszQfGVw3j-bZ-qhHlZn0s3BvF55ui8AIBVnoZSm8cpnzrara467IcbAj3ZQRtIU2ksggYU5x6PPbHyKEBf9305_ChfHO_G1wj7bNr2Du3yitJsGguO4Ca8dxYZqZsww5XRa/s1326/02_Ana_Zanic_Personal_Totem_watercolor_and_pencil_30x22.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1326" data-original-width="994" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIszQfGVw3j-bZ-qhHlZn0s3BvF55ui8AIBVnoZSm8cpnzrara467IcbAj3ZQRtIU2ksggYU5x6PPbHyKEBf9305_ChfHO_G1wj7bNr2Du3yitJsGguO4Ca8dxYZqZsww5XRa/w300-h400/02_Ana_Zanic_Personal_Totem_watercolor_and_pencil_30x22.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /><b><i>When you start a work, do you have a general idea of what you want to do or is it more of a stream of consciousness? To my mind these are somewhat like dreamscapes.</i></b><br /><br />I like to randomly open my sketchbooks, pick up one of the unfinished pages that I am drawn to at that particular moment, and continue working on it. This is very similar to almost all my work, even large scale, as I am not at all drawn to planning out my process. I see all my work as a time and place where I release myself from the need to control and plan, which is almost the opposite of how my mind works the rest of the time 😉<br /><br />My art practice gives me a license not to be concerned with the outcomes, and to enjoy a sense of flow. I guess that is then reflected back in the work itself.<br /><br />In my process, I see a metaphor for the duality of life; where certain things can be controlled, while others happen spontaneously.</span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8FCTFeei_RHEBChjKjh2ThSs2jk8mJKgEU-HB_2AKROgFqsaDXKk3y6iPQZIJRFlJQLNoRNzExJYez60Q7W8u5Qsz3lC6xXK5YTSYjvtOHylL6DzJXlJdVB_GuMvlLNeBFLTy/s1326/02_Ana_Zanic_Studio_2021.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1326" data-original-width="994" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8FCTFeei_RHEBChjKjh2ThSs2jk8mJKgEU-HB_2AKROgFqsaDXKk3y6iPQZIJRFlJQLNoRNzExJYez60Q7W8u5Qsz3lC6xXK5YTSYjvtOHylL6DzJXlJdVB_GuMvlLNeBFLTy/w300-h400/02_Ana_Zanic_Studio_2021.JPG" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b><i>Can you tell me briefly about your artistic journey – how did you wind up here with these images?</i></b><br /><br />My artistic journey goes way back to my earliest childhood. Ever since I was very little I was drawn to doodling and playing with clay. Many of my parents’ close relatives are visual artists by profession; some are painters, others sculptors and printmakers, several of them are also university art professors. Though both my parents and sister hold degrees in math and physics, my parents always recognized and encouraged my artistic expression, and bringing me up, they were in general never stifling.<br /><br />I think the spontaneity I am drawn to relates greatly to the way I was brought up, with a general sense of freedom to often do what I like. Some might call this being spoiled, I guess.<br /><br />In my work I am always interested in the spontaneity of the process, and a sense of life and intimacy. I am not interested in work that would be considered bold and striking, but rather I seek the expression that is quiet and calming. My works can, in a strange way, be seen as both optimistic and a bit melancholic at the same time. I guess at heart I am a true romantic.</span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #444444;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjdvOGX3zXHYHDSfDNtstgGLt0dmgBb3mnFcvHLVWwLiAGHlxSOoWOVZfpcEaAM_OA_5XSukdFaNR0LBGyDb82fimoCdNmO_y42vKROsNuZbjPrv5F1SKqnNJVUx_75Olo9RF/s1326/05_Ana_Zanic_Moonrise_series_watercolor_and_pencil.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1326" data-original-width="994" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjdvOGX3zXHYHDSfDNtstgGLt0dmgBb3mnFcvHLVWwLiAGHlxSOoWOVZfpcEaAM_OA_5XSukdFaNR0LBGyDb82fimoCdNmO_y42vKROsNuZbjPrv5F1SKqnNJVUx_75Olo9RF/w300-h400/05_Ana_Zanic_Moonrise_series_watercolor_and_pencil.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><p></p>Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296983401013941593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14534884.post-87523950463920995492021-04-08T15:15:00.002-07:002021-05-25T11:16:56.211-07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.olsonlarsen.com/en/exhibitions/?albumID=5245&action=dspalbum" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"> DREAMLAND</span></span></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">Olson-Larsen Galleries, Des Moines, IA </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">April 9, 2021-May 22, 2021</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQhu8NAZrBvk33KA4V7baC8GHRngJo_ra9GUfcqchAlJnOniSnkYtS7eHdVuqVRWrLtrAhLKdLSibMqgF30Pc4Ygc4cZemA3qOKJxCd3t18nQh1OLtFov53_7CN3iYwVze1hI/s975/OLG+Dreamland+square.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="975" data-original-width="975" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQhu8NAZrBvk33KA4V7baC8GHRngJo_ra9GUfcqchAlJnOniSnkYtS7eHdVuqVRWrLtrAhLKdLSibMqgF30Pc4Ygc4cZemA3qOKJxCd3t18nQh1OLtFov53_7CN3iYwVze1hI/s320/OLG+Dreamland+square.png" /></a></span></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Tomorrow is the opening of "Dreamland" at <a href="http://www.olsonlarsen.com/en/exhibitions/?albumID=5245&action=dspalbum" target="_blank">Olson-Larsen Galleries</a> in Des Moines, IA.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This will be my first time to exhibit with the gallery, and I am excited to show twelve of my watercolors, from several of my series, in a group exhibition with five artists: Jillian Dickson, Naomi Friend, Jane Gilmor, Jeanine Coupe Ryding and Ken Smith.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i> "Dreams are ephemeral and elusive.

The country's political and social crisis adds an intense layer of uneasiness and uncertainty.<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> It is interesting to me that my new series on wood panels, the one I started last year, titled "Migration", emerged as a reflection on the changes and perpetual adjustments in my process of moving from Croatia to the United States many years ago. This feeling of unknown, of being suspended rather than grounded has only intensified, and I am certain it is now the prevailing feeling for practically the entire humankind.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Every day I find gratitude in the ability to add small marks to my sketchbooks, whenever an opportunity arises. Sometimes it comes while my kids are playing in the yard, sometimes while sitting by my kindergartner during his online school meetings. It's all more fluid now, and that is a nicer way to say: the concept of time feels quite blurry. There is more time, and yet less rest for the mind.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> I feel, if all ends well, and we push through, this pandemic will probably be a time to remember how much we got to be together. And yet, in this moment, however blissful the cuddles and playing together (and doing school together!) are, there is a huge lack of "alone" time. Time for reflection. Time for a quiet room, with nobody else but yourself, for just a couple of hours. I am not counting here the very early morning that I am already stealing when I wake up a few hours before everyone else in our house...</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">If it, indeed, all goes well, I am asking myself, will I remember the richness of the time together, and reflect on it with a sense of nostalgia; once my studio resumes being again just - my studio, and no more also a makeshift classroom of my little five year old brother-in-arms.</span></div>Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296983401013941593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14534884.post-10712484663806435642020-09-15T16:47:00.016-07:002022-11-10T16:09:46.996-08:00<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> THE POWER OF TIME AND THE PANDEMIC CYCLE<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6fbA05BueWoA7AVDax1fuVo2Wp-xOoIH84zliIaPUbEo86AQeyeXZCSWGdjvoIb17xSQZKXVM1a8qyLdHrR0Vrx0hkOvGOZCq2mOhGOSgyI1rICoXhrqGXPSfglhcIvG62_A/s2048/IMG-2393.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6fbA05BueWoA7AVDax1fuVo2Wp-xOoIH84zliIaPUbEo86AQeyeXZCSWGdjvoIb17xSQZKXVM1a8qyLdHrR0Vrx0hkOvGOZCq2mOhGOSgyI1rICoXhrqGXPSfglhcIvG62_A/s320/IMG-2393.jpg" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Franja Zanic, a small book of poems</i></span> <br /></span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A few days ago I celebrated my 44th birthday. I distinctly remember when my mom turned 44. My sister and I made her a card; it said: "Happy birthday, mama! This is the year when you will be sitting on two chairs." The number 44 kind of resembles two chairs and we have an expression in Croatia "sitting on two chairs" meaning trying to please everyone, or trying to do too many things at the same time. We acknowledged that our mom was always working hard on all fronts, and knew well her multitasking was not an easy undertaking. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This all now feels like it was a hundred years ago!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Today, if my grandfather Franja was still alive, it would have been his 100th birthday. He was a writer and just a few days ago </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span>my sister </span></span>stumbled upon a Wiki page about him, discovering his exact birth date. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Unfortunately, instead of turning 100, my grandfather died at 26. He contracted tuberculosis during the WWII, and didn't recover, his wife, my grandmother, Kornelija outlived him by only a few years (she died at the age of 33).</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>That being said, my dad lost his father when he was just 2 and his mother when he was 13. The story of their lives and their unfortunate destinies resonates so powerfully at this time when the entire world is in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.</span><br /><br /><span>The passing of time and its relativity is so very strange. What is - a long time, what is - only a little bit? Regardless whether there is a way to answer that question - it is so apparent that our (human) fragility is very real. Every moment truly counts. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>My grandfather lived to be only 26, he was at the battlefields, fighting the Nazis, I imagine him in moving through some damp forests, half-starved, cold and miserable, like so many young people around him. And yet during his short life, he </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span>managed to passionately write poetry, </span></span>study Slavistics at the University of Zagreb, and in Vinkovci, (the city where he lived, where my dad was born and where I was born) - a street was named after him. He left his little mark. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Not to mention he and Kornelija had my dad, and without their existence I wouldn't be here, my sister wouldn't be here, our children wouldn't be here today.</span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I don't know much about my grandfather Franja, we only heard stories from other people. That he was incredibly bright, passionate, that </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">while his siblings were playing in the yard, </span>he would be stuck indoors and devour literature. His younger brother, Karla (who later became the mayor of Vinkovci, the town they all lived in, and where my parents, my sister and I were born) would say - "Franja, why don't you come outside, get some sunlight, play ball with me?" But he was so driven and obsessed with literature, he would forget or abandon the idea of going out, altogether. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Today I only have this small selection of his poems. It is so unusual to read his words, see his handwriting and his young face in a black and white photo, see my grandma's name (Kornelija) mentioned in several poems.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The notion that the two of them were at some point in time perfectly real, with their loves, and passions and joys and sorrows, and I am already so much, much
older than either of them! What a strange, sad and beautiful amalgamat of circumstances.</span><br /><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDEtdGmzIl-2eEB28vUSaOwfrvlGdr9KZtaiS17FDA7wNkbkJHfawivPMcOCicw98XTylFzYhhyphenhyphenl3QdWjpIjyzZd0kAPLlLlbDwvPsh0Zy6U3WshfXEEYv6HdjOB0z0lcVJFH/s2048/IMG-2394.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDEtdGmzIl-2eEB28vUSaOwfrvlGdr9KZtaiS17FDA7wNkbkJHfawivPMcOCicw98XTylFzYhhyphenhyphenl3QdWjpIjyzZd0kAPLlLlbDwvPsh0Zy6U3WshfXEEYv6HdjOB0z0lcVJFH/s320/IMG-2394.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVdX0ECSDfvKjKRSQ_ng9P4nRErkbmBgmRTvYX34nm1EjudGXWpixUR-Qk80r6XFOyiv304SMkSRRPBrYBNXIk6gGVXuu-bhBZ0u_oCVef27cyMLQYj309eAH4DpbYWNfolR8Y/s2048/IMG-2397.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVdX0ECSDfvKjKRSQ_ng9P4nRErkbmBgmRTvYX34nm1EjudGXWpixUR-Qk80r6XFOyiv304SMkSRRPBrYBNXIk6gGVXuu-bhBZ0u_oCVef27cyMLQYj309eAH4DpbYWNfolR8Y/w240-h320/IMG-2397.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296983401013941593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14534884.post-69688990038829075902020-07-11T16:36:00.004-07:002020-07-11T17:17:24.775-07:00<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">As the summer is passing in such a very different way than any summer before, just like everybody else right now, I am reflecting on what is behind, and what in front of me.</span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">My gut reaction to the general instability and uncertainty of this time is to try and weather the storm the best way I can.<br />Honestly, I continue being active with my art practice as if I am holding on for dear life. I can sense my instinct is at high alert, reminding me of the turbulent time of war during my teenage years in Croatia. Thankfully, the art proves to be my haven every time when the going gets tough, and presents itself as something secure and stable I can rely on. It helps me cope with the present, tremendously.I have to mention that I am lucky to have such a great support from the three galleries that represent me.<br />That being said; today is the opening of the three-artist summer exhibition at Gallery 1871 in Chicago, where I have over a dozen of large scale watercolors, all elegantly framed.</span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This is my debut with the Chicago Art Source's <a href="https://www.chicagoartsource.com/exhibits">gallery 1871</a> and I am simply thrilled with this new representation, here in Chicago. </span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">One of my Origin pieces is on the announcement poster on the building's facade (image above), and it feels fulfilling to see it from the street, a sense that this calming image hopefully for a moment brightens up a gaze for so many passersby.
<br />
<br />
In addition to this three-artist exhibition in Chicago (featuring works by Patricia Finley, Elise Morris and myself), my work is also right now on view at <a href="http://www.walkerfineart.com/powerandfragility">Walker Fine Art</a> in Denver, in "Power and Fragility" : a six artist exhibit that explores the bold and powerful, as well as the delicate and fragile aspects of nature (featuring works by Tonia Bonnell, Patricia Finley, Jane Guthridge, Allison Svoboda, Zelda Zinn, and myself).</span></span>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">I have started my Origin series many years ago. Moving from my native country, Croatia, to the United States seventeen years ago created a feeling of nostalgia, a sense of never fully belonging. I came here as an adult, so the complicated nuances of language that can't be translated, and the cultural differences are always there with me. I carry them as a tiny weight. A small price to pay to live a life where I want to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">When I was a teenager we had a war in my country and many of my friends of different nationalities fled the county overnight. My best friend was one of them, and I didn't know if she and her family were alive for several years. They just disappeared overnight. The city where I lived became a war zone and was under constant grenading. My entire high school was "transplanted" to a remote area where it was safe, and we lived there for a full year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">We were lucky we were alive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Those were difficult times in my life, and it hurts to know what people are capable of, how cruel humanity can be. And today it hurts me to think a human life can be extinguished on the basis of race. It sickens me to see the color of one's skin can make a difference in life or death. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I was a little girl, my mom was a high school math teacher. I had a nanny, teta Gita, who would come every morning, pick me up and I would spend the day at her house. I remember in the evenings the sound of my mom's car, driving over the gravel road and approaching my nanny's house. It was the most exhilarating feeling. I loved my nanny to pieces, and I never missed my mom during the day. I played on the street in front of my nanny's house with neighbors' kids. But when my mom would come to pick me up I was simply overjoyed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the evenings at home, my mom would play the piano, lots of Chopin, and I would dance behind her. I loved dancing but back then I thought "her music" was too melancholy and sad. But since I grew up on Chopin - his music became a part of me. I have the gift now of always having my mom with me when I hear Chopin. That is, if it is played well ;-) If there's too much technique and not enough soul involved, I simply can't bear it. My mom is one of those overly sensitive people who feel everything, and she is guilty of all my sensitivities, irritabilities, and just like her, of feeling too much in general. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But I would never trade it for any other version of living. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I still talk with my mom every single day, continents apart, and especially now, during the COVID-19 when she is in a full quarantine in a retirement home in Croatia, I cherish every minute of our conversations. I take a walk and talk with my mom. We talk about colors, how yellow and red together make the worst match, I tell her about my new series of paintings, we discuss different textures of watercolor paper, the ones that are smooth, the ones that are rough, more cream-colored or the crisp white... I describe the flowers that are in bloom here now and that I see around me while I am walking, and the birds that are chirping. When I notice someone walking a few steps behind me, even though there is almost not a living soul on the streets, she can feel my irritability and starts "hearing" the footsteps of the "oblivious intruder that is not sensitive enough to cross the street or make a turn, for goodness sake"! Then we laugh together at our ridiculous sensitivity. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There's an anecdotal story from my mom's childhood: One time, just before the storm, my mom was in the yard with her mother and her mother's friend who came over. A hen and her little chicks got excited and chirped after a loud thunder. The chicks seemed frightened and my mom started to cry, feeling for the poor chicks. Her mother's friend who saw my mom crying over the chicks who were unharmed exclaimed: "That child is not fit for life!".

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">So what have I been up to these days, when the entire world is affected by the COVID 19 pandemic?</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">I have been, mainly, spending a lot of time with my children, Albert and Karl, who are my "wild things" (and I can't imagine them being any other way). Sure, it is more convenient to train one's children to be obedient, but that always just feels so smothering to me. So I let them be free and wild. It is a blessing and a curse, of course, and my studio practice suffers. This is the time when the difference between being a parent (or a caretaker) vs. being without children, or someone else to take care of, is so staggeringly apparent. This is the time when being present, alert, and serious about the needs of your dependents is an absolute number one. And art, though a soul-feeding necessity, at the same time becomes a luxury. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Most days now more than ever are about parenting, or better say, socializing with my kids. The Croatian language has a nice word "druzenje" that somehow means "time spent in quality-hanging out". I am sure there is a beautiful and rich word in English for that but it somehow escapes me. Just to say "socializing" or "hanging out" with my kids sounds too superficial and distant. I feel we are bonding on a much deeper level because we have all the time in the world for each other. Anyway, that is not to say they are not driving me completely insane on any given day, and that I don't miss my alone time dearly. But I know that they come first, and they are now stuck at home, without their schools, friends, their normal routine, so I must be present. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">So though it feels like I have been completely robbed of my studio time, I still somehow haven't (for the life of me, I don't know how!) completely lost my connection with my art life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="color: #444444;"> I will list my art-related practices and events here in the form of a checklist of sorts just so I can read it myself and conclude that there are still many relevant moments to be acknowledged.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">1. My work is right now in an online exhibition at <a href="https://www.markelfinearts.com/transparent2/">Kathryn Markel Fine Arts</a>, titled "Transparent". Other featured artists include Ky Anderson, Sarah Irvin, Eric Blum, Daniel Brice, Jeffrey Cortland Jones, Gudrun Metres-Frady, Annette Davidek, Laura Fayer, and Debra Smith.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><i>From the exhibit description: </i>Artists use transparencies for different reasons - To illuminate processes, to reveal a paintings' history or to mask it, to create new spaces, or to veil figures and shapes. Sometimes, the transparencies are intentional, sometimes just a function of the media or process, but they always add a sense of depth and history.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">2. I have started painting a small scale 9"x12" series (just like I did with<a href="http://www.anazanic.com/alberts_series.html"> Albert's</a> and<a href="http://www.anazanic.com/karls_series.html"> Karl's</a> series when they were babies and I had practically no studio time). I titled the series appropriately "En Passant" (In Passing), as these pieces are literally created during stolen moments in the early morning when everyone else is asleep, or later in the evening when my husband's work is done for the day and he takes over the kids.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">3. I am also doing a lot of scribbling in several small sketchbooks; very fresh, very lose little croquis pieces, that I can work on outside of the studio space; in the yard, while my kids are playing, or when I am talking on the phone with my mom (who is in a retirement home in Croatia and is room-bound). These everyday conversations with my mom are also my long-distance-caretaking moments since she has no close family there, and can't visit with friends due to strict rules of social distancing. She spends all her day confined to her room and is thankful for the library and the coloring books that she carefully colors with colored pencils. These days we often talk a lot about various color matches and different shades and compare them to flowers or moss, or sky. I feel more aware (and grateful!) just how much love and passion for the matters of aesthetics the two of us share.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">4. I am working on new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLxQIoIkb9XSh_CvVhIOVnQpL3cNwdgokI&v=gehlvGGANIc&feature=emb_title">"Migration" </a>paintings on wooden panels, and these will be featured in the upcoming exhibition at Walker Fine Arts in Denver, in May. The exhibition is titled <a href="http://www.walkerfineart.com/upcoming">"Power and Fragility"</a> which truly captures the feeling of the moment. I intermittently feel like I am both of those things. The exhibition will present works by Allison Svoboda, Jane Guthridge, Tonia Bonnell, Patricia Finley, Zelda Zinn, and myself. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">And though it now seems very unlikely that "Power and Fragility" will have a physical opening in May, it is still planned and scheduled to be installed, and while the opening reception will probably be virtual, and the artists and gallery staff will join via social media, the paintings, real-life ones, still have to be made. Finished. Photographed. Filed in a database. Wired. Packed. Shipped. The show must go on.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">With my two solo exhibitions in January and February, my 2020 artistically and career-wise started with a bang. Little did I know, a few weeks ago, that the whole world would soon be affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and, as is the case for us here in Illinois right now, that I would be in a "shelter-in-place" situation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Hopefully, these new regulations will slow down and diminish the impact of the virus spreading, however, we sure are all taken by this strange and uncertain situation and can expect many losses to come in many forms.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">As for myself, I can only say - this past week greatly affected my ability to work, and I hope I will find a way to carve out more studio time in the days to come. Both of my boys, like all children here, are now homebound, and it is challenging to keep them occupied and stress-free, and also on top of their school assignments (!) while keeping up my studio practice. I have, for the past week for sure, been mainly a caregiver, a loving parent, and a supportive spouse. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">The arts have the power to transform and transcend. I hope my work engages the viewers in a positive and calming way and brings solace to a burdened mind, and that I find ways to create my work, regardless of the challenges. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">So with the topic of art in mind - I will focus on the things I actually CAN do, not on those that I can't. And I hope you do the same.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Starting with writing here a bit about my solo exhibition at Lewis University, which was a wonderful experience, and I am still sharing the images of it daily on Instagram, though the exhibit itself was closed, together with the entire university. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">I would like to thank Gallery Coordinator Natalie Swain and Professor Mark Swain for all their help with this exhibition.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The beautiful Wadsworth Family Gallery consists of three separate rooms, so this gave me an amazing opportunity for installing work from several series, without clashing different moods and color palettes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">I included works from my Blush Nebula, Origin, Trail to Arcadia, Reef and Migration series.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">I had a great opportunity of sharing stories about the artwork in this particular exhibition, as well as my studio practice in general, during the opening night talk, with a large audience of Lewis University students, teachers, and friends. It was also an honor to meet and talk about the exhibition with the Lewis University president, Dr. David J. Livingston.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Here are some more images from my solo exhibition at the Arrowhead Room of Waubonsee Community College. What a wonderful audience at my talk and I must say I had a blast doing a workshop with students. The title of the workshop was Mark Making: The duality of freedom and control, and I wanted to put an emphasis on freedom. We were using walnut ink and a dip pen for our marks (I created a piece of my own as well), and the drawings were subsequently all connected into one singular horizontal work, similar to the concept of "Exquisite Corpse". </span></div>

Today is the first official day of my exhibition at the Arrowhead Room at Waubonsee. I had an exciting week installing this exhibit with much help there from Cecilia Vargas, Janice Rodriguez, and Jackie Gramillo. Seeing the work removed from my studio space, in a new context, makes me experience it almost as if I were seeing it for the first time. </div>

In this exhibition, titled “Migration/In Search of Arcadia” I wanted to focus on my experience of moving from one continent and country to another. After living in the United States for sixteen years, I finally became a US citizen in October 2019.<br />
Physically relocating from my home country, Croatia, to becoming a US citizen may seem like it took years, but it is actually a journey that will continue throughout the course of my lifetime.<br />
Moving from one's native home and culture to another culture entails a continuous search for self-identity, as well as a sense of longing for what's understood and familiar. It also means coming to terms with a constant feeling of change, facing the unfamiliar and relearning daily. This tension of the familiar/unfamiliar, or of being in control vs. the lack of control is at the core of my art practice. Through the process of creating I investigate the inner realms of self and the longing for what is old and familiar, yet I place it in a new context, never replicating any readily identifiable aspects of my heritage. The mark-making becomes a journal, placing this longing into a new context. This creates an alternative reality, one that speaks a universal language.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">Last Friday was the opening reception and 10th-year Anniversary celebration of <a href="https://www.waterstreetstudios.org/">Water Street Studios</a>. Water Street was my studio home for several years, before my family settled in the Fox Valley area permanently, and before we purchased a house that accommodated a studio space.</span></span></div>
