Visual Art – Indianapolis
Alana's interest in art was evident as soon as she was big enough to hold a crayon. She was always drawing, coloring or making something. Around age 13, she took formal oil painting classes from two well accredited instructors local to her area. After graduating from high school, she spent one semester as an Art major in college before changing to education.
Alana never stopped being creative. She practiced face painting and spent many hours crocheting. She enjoyed personal painting projects as well as volunteer projects for school activities such as props for school plays, the marching band and color guard.
Alana recently rekindled her love for painting when she came across The Art Sherpa YouTube Channel. Alana eagerly watched the tutorials by Cinnamon Cooney learning for the first time the ins and outs of painting with acrylics.
Alana enjoys painting originals and commissioned pieces. She sells original paintings as well as prints. Her images are also available on many products such as note cards, coffee cups, blankets and tote bags.
Alana began teaching classes in the spring of 2018 to help guide others in experiencing the joy of painting.
Alana lives in Orleans Indiana with her husband Matt of almost 20 years and their two teenage sons Harrison and Pete. They enjoy a quiet life on their little farm with their pygmy goats, donkey, ducks, potbelly pig and dogs.
