Welcome to Chanas Website.....

Chana began painting with watercolors in 1993 at Central Carolina Community College located in Sanford, NC, with instructor John Wicker. Absolutely in love with painting, she pursued additional instruction through workshops with national known painters, which she continues to do to this day. In 1996, Chana followed up on another medium, pottery. I studied at RCC in Randolph County with Louis Ragsdale and Chris Luther. I'm extremely fortunate to have a number of successful artist within my family who have encouraged and supported by art dreams.

Chana paints from life (en plein air) or from a photograph she's taken. She uses a fusion of brilliant colors representing North Carolina and North Carolina life. She incorporates various styles in her paintings attempting to better represent the inherent beauty of her subject. Painting impasto provides sharp lines and present striking contrasts in texture and color with her oil paints.

Chana's pottery is generally utilitarian with a flair to the artistcally pleasing, using techniques such as hand altering, adding impressions and textures, inscribing, and wax resists. Each technique is selected to obtain the utmost in both beauty and usability. She uses a medium fired stoneware clay which is dishwaster, oven, and microwave safe when firing is complete.

Chana recently opened her own Art Gallery/Studio in Siler City, NC, where she works and shares her space with other artists. She sells the artwork of 45 other local artists....pottery, original paintings, slate work, wood work, jewelry, fused glass, fiber art, soaps, and hand forged iron.
