"FOUND IN A WORLD ALL OF MY VERY OWN... I LIKE IT HERE." - Vanna Black
ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY
Vanna Black is a self-taught artist, and skilled graphic designer who obtained her BFA from Georgia State University in hybrid design. Her art displays colorful abstract, motion-filled landscapes and floral imagery inspired by a connection to sustaining a piece of mind, existing in the now. Vanna’s mission is to use composition, color, scale and balance to open the viewer's mind for internal reflections about one's own thoughts on the world and other perspectives. She visualizes a world where everyone is nurturing each other while learning about how to be self-maintaining like Nature.
An Atlanta native, raised in Ormewood Park neighborhood of Atlanta GA, She utilizes her design skills solely to paint fabric-like surface patterns. Vanna is an active member of CreativeMornings, a global media company, of the Atlanta chapter and has volunteered for The Creative Project, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization. Vanna has worked with clients such as City of Atlanta, Namara Agency, and even Hermès. She has created a few local residential mural collectors also.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My Inspiration comes from various objects that have been compounded into odd shapes - these shapes then inspire the landscapes and floral compositions I paint. My walks on various nature trails help me connect the organic feel in compositions I yet to create and understand. On a normal day, I will see a school bus a tree and a bench, for example, and will visualize from those objects several floral bouquet or mountainous silhouettes.
My goal are first, to create landscapes and floral imagery unfathomable to the human existence and that become personified by the viewer: The viewer can reflect inwards and let go of whatever emotions they are feeling and can focus on places they imagine themself to be if they need to escape from reality; and second to give the viewer encouraging thoughts by the naming the pieces in a way that resonates with the spiritual parts of the human experience.
