Story Time!
Meeting Jana Latham and being introduced to her art has been an interesting and exciting journey.
She and I have both been involved in the Anchorage art scene for many years, myself since 1986 and Jana since 2004 yet somehow our paths have never crossed until about a month ago. A couple of weeks before the June First Friday show at Heritage Art & Frames, Jana and I were introduced to each other by a mutual friend Beth Bennett. Plans for the show were made and Jana got to work printing all her amazing images that are hanging in the show. She was willing to hang the show herself which I knew she could handle with her experience as an art gallery owner, and quite frankly relieved that I could be steadfast with my framing projects. I was able to assist with some screw eyes and wire or other miscellaneous framing task to help her, the show was hung and looking fabulous in just a couple of days. The big day: Just what you want a First Friday show to look like, lots of excited people talking about and purchasing art. The day after the show I was taking some “me time” hanging out at home drinking coffee and decided to hop on Facebook to see what my peeps have been up to, scrolling, scrolling...Oh yeah, I’ve been meaning to search for Jana on here. There she is, Jana Latham.
Intro: Self-Employed at Ravenink Fine Art Printing Alaska (Ok, I knew that)
Studied at Go Gators (Right on Gator Fan)
Went to Choctawhatchee HS Big Green Indian
(WHAT? Wait a minute I graduated from Choctaw)
Ok, how bizarre is this?
I sent her a text message to inquire what year she graduated, Jana and I graduated from the same high school in Florida two years apart.
What a small world!
