About The Maker
Jana Berná
Jana was born and raised in Alaska and handcrafts her pieces in a small home studio nestled amongst wise Birch and cheerful Fireweed near the flow of the glacial Matanuska River.
“Spare words, nature’s way.”
from Tao Te Ching 23
“Sol er Skipa skioldur
Skijnande rødull
Huerffande huel”
Runólfur Jónsson, Lingvæ Septentrionalis elementa, 1651
Sun is ships’ shield
Shining halo
Turning wheel
