Jana Vodesil-Baruffi is a successful artist living in Perth, Western Australia. Her work is mainly produced in her studio in Perth. On her travels Jana takes references such as small sketches and quick paintings in pastels, acrylics or pen and wash drawings, and photographs. These are then developed in her studio into amazing paintings. To view Jana's art and learn more about her and her work go to her website at www.janavodesil.com.

Jana and her husband have travelled extensively. Jana is from the Czech Republic and Kevin's family originated in Italy. They were married in Venice wearing traditional Venetian costume (photo at right).

Jana has been captivated by Italian culture, having spent most of 2009 living there.  She is now offering art tours to beautiful Tuscany and the northern regions in the mountains and around Lake Como.

She is also fascinated by the natural beauty of New Zealand, and has decided to add it to the amazing places she takes art lovers and their friends

Jana is always happy to share her art knowledge through her art classes, workshops and lectures to give students and artists more practical tools, and help them to understand and enjoy their painting experience both during their travels and back at home.
