I love that aspect of its vulnerability - it resembles life itself.”

Walker Fine Art aims to foster community through art. Collector - Artist Dialogue features a conversation between artist and collector who share personal thoughts and feelings about the same piece of art. First up, Gallery Manager, Libby speaks to her deep connection with Blush Nebula by Ana Zanic, Walker Fine Art artist. Then, Ana Žanić responds to Libby with her inspiration behind painting.
Ana's intuitive & spontaneous marks over washes of watercolor reflect on her experience of uprooting, adapting & learning. These experiences create a tension of control vs. lack thereof that is at the core of Ana's practice.
