Biography: Nature Versus Technology

Janna Stern spent her formative years in a small mid-western town. It was within the confines of this pleasant rural experience that Stern developed a deep fascination with color, nature, and the beauty of simple objects. A family move to Los Angeles during Stern’s adolescence provided fertile ground for artistic exploration and thought.

In her twenties, Stern experimented in toy making, assemblage, expressionism, and collage. This primordial exploration of the human form, nature, science and the rawness of experience was a search for the correct media to accurately portray her growing dissatisfaction with institutionalized concepts, theories, and cures for society’s maladies. The explosive advancement in computer technology since 1980 provides Stern with the creative tools she needs to work on her oeuvre.

Digital art has become the artistic synergy of Sterns’ curiosity and creative endeavors. It is in this genre that Stern has firmly rooted herself as a deconstructionist.
