Information about the artist / the group

I'm working full time with digital arts and textile patterns. My design is based on my own photographs. Nature and old cities play an important role in my works - but likewise it is possible to find something dreamlike or surprising in them. The unique artworks are printed with a special printing method on velvet, which makes them look vivid and slightly three dimensional. The small 40's Cessna that you can find in my works is my signature - an airplane I have flown herself. I work in Mathildedal and Turku. My works have been exhibited at several galleries and museums, and I have had the honour to be elected the Craftsman of the Year 2023 by Turku Entrepreneurs. I am a member (previous chairman)of Salo Artists' Association.

Program during Konstrundan

I'm taking advantage of the potential of modern digital printing technology and have developed methods to bring new dimensions to the end result by using several different image editing programs simultaneously. I'm looking forward to discussing about my digital arts and my textile prints, why not also AI, with you! During Konstrundan there will also be some arts offers and serving of light snacks at the gallery.

Driving directions

The Gallery is located in Mathildedal village close to the harbour, in an old coal storage (separate) building. Signs with the text ''Design Jaana Kähönen'' can be found at several places in the village.
