Who You Should Know: Jana Marie

To appear confident and to be confident are two completely different things. There is a sense of strength that comes with true confidence that can only be gained by being self assured in what you believe. Jana has always seemed fearless to me because her beliefs are often out of the ordinary and she never shies away from the facts that make her different from her peers. I went to high school with this girl- high school which is known for being the time when everyone is trying to fit in- I know that Jana would be the one walking across the lunch room with me while everyone was either puzzled by her outfit or admiring her bold style. High school always feels too small, like everyone knows everyone, and it’s true everyone knew who the girls with actual style were, girls who, like Jana, had their own style. I’m not saying everyone liked their style but at least they stood out and some of us could appreciate their taste. That idea of being independent, and doing your own thing definitely transfers into the creative aspects of Jana’s life and artwork which is why I've interviewed her for my blog. I’ll be posting my interview with Jana and some of her photography work next!
