Tunes to Groove To



Janna has a broad selection of music she enjoys, including these poppy prep-sters, Vampire Weekend. Click HERE to
listen to some of her other picks.


Artists to Talk About



One of Janna's favorite artists right now is Chuck Close. She loves how his work has evolved over the years and his
portraits over the past 10 years are incredible. He took something as simple as a painted portrait and made it absolutely
unique and never done in that way before.


Reads to Check Out



Blue Canvas Magazine hopes everyone will be able to find inspiration that reaches across genres & believes it can provide
the right tools to inspire everyone... artists & non-artists alike... and Janna agrees.
