About Jana Willis

Jana Willis is a visual artist from Columbia, SC who works primarily in oil, acrylic, colored pencil, and pen. They blend translucence, abstracted figures, and illusion to describe memory, spirituality, and insomnia. While pursuing a BFA in Drawing at the University of South Carolina, Jana exhibited work in the Visual Art and Design Showcase at the President’s House and Flux/Flow at the Southeastern College Art Conference in Cincinnati, OH. Since graduating in 2025, Jana’s creative inquiry has led to an interest in visual processing and phenomena and further experiments in layering, texture, and scale.
