"My efforts to communicate the deepest part of my being are through music and art. Having a special interest in improvisational music, I find I also incorporate the same free musical approach in my artwork.
For me this communication process is not complete until it reaches others who vibrate at this same place, & it matters not that I am able to profit from a piece of artwork if someone truly resonates with it. I know it belongs to them, and the circle is finally connected by the recipient having received it."

JOVANI

Instinctual and improvisational, Jovani’s stylings in art parallel and compliment her explorations of avant garde jazz upon some interesting and primary levels. Elements as diverse as analytical cubism and passionate expressionism can appear as glimpsed influences in a single ingenuous scene, reflecting a self-learned assimilation of effect against the urgent disregard of the Naïve or Outsider "school" for cause. The result, as in much of John Marin’s early work, leaves an impression of being portraits of energy.
Born into a family of ten children in Los altos, California in 1957, Jovani attributes her generally rebellious attitude in the arts to her struggles against an early environment she felt restricting.

 Each of Jovani’s paintings seems to be a history of the energy and process that she puts into each work. Beyond that, she aims to enlist her personality and emotions in each painting. The result of these two streams of energy is a style that she attaches with the Gestural school of thought. She achieves this effect by concentrating her skills on emphasizing the intensity and placement of her paint. Combining various colors with a mind for shape and placement, each work manages to exist in the paradox of simultaneous order and chaos. The tension between these realms creates the ideal playground for exploring the entire range of her feelings and ideas. In all her emotions, she has created a reputation that has brought her work exposure coast to coast. Her work has appeared on a variety of hand-painted cards and eventually she began her own business in this industry.
