Announcing the Kindred Art Collective!

Jan Avellana, Artist + Writer Jan Avellana was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and has always been part fish. Perhaps because her true form is a mermaid, she has never quite found her way in the hustle and bustle of a traditional life. A wanderer at heart, Jan’s first creative inklings came through creative writing as a child. She was known to burrow herself away in snug, sunlit corners as she escaped into her world of books and writing. Much later, Jan discovered the visual arts and has delved into everything from ceramics to encaustic wax. Even today, she is most at home with wide open seas and vast landscapes that allow her to follow wherever her heart leads. Jan’s art and words are a patchwork of everything that ever happened to her and also the things that didn’t, the lovely sum of her deepest fears and fondest hopes, images stitched together to tell a story full of meaning—bringing comfort and warmth in the telling of a life made up of scraps and treasures gathered through her wanderings. Jan is an elementary teacher by day, an artist and writer by night. She is always a mom to her boys Seth, Cody and Momo the cat, Radar the Puppy Butts and partner-in-crime to her husband, Steve.

Announcing the Kindred Art Collective!

TAaaddaaAhhHHHH!!! Meet my new art collective!

Kindred Art Collective is a gathering of 6 independent artists from around the globe. Together we represent the world quite literally. Hailing from Tuscany (Sara Brezzi) to Philadelphia (Barbara Zuckerman Chotiner), the Istrian Peninsula in Croatia (Antoana Oreški-Džafić) to Colorado (Kelly Angelovic), and from Berlin (Malu Lenzi) to Hawaii (Jan Avellana), our creative hearts connect us over land and sea!

We are a group of artists who have joined forces to make oodles of delicious art, fan the flames of one another’s creative mojo, and leave their mark in this world, one illustration at a time!Visit our website here! And our blog, here! And head over and like us on our Facebook page here! :)

YAY! You can also sign up for our Kindred Art Collective newsletter here!

Much more about our plans for (peaceful) world domination soon!!! xoxo
