Jana Wilson
Jana Wilson is the Artist and Creative Mastermind behind Vintagia Memphis. Jana creates one-of-a-kind works of art from found objects, broken, and discarded items. Her love of all things vintage translates into pieces that tell stories, spark nostalgia, and speak to the heart.
Jana grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. After studying visual merchandising and design at Memphis State University, she worked in various creative fields in San Diego, Honolulu, and Minneapolis. Returning home to Memphis 15 years later, Jana is involved in community activism, music, artistic endeavors, and something of a hippie homestead lifestyle.
Jana began collecting memorabilia, vintage curiosities, and other items as a child, arranging them into collages and collections that expressed symbolism and relationships between the inanimate objects.
All grown up now, (in a manner of speaking), she has discovered the freedom of expression that comes with combining found objects into works of art. Much of the inspiration for Jana's artwork comes from repurposing, recycling, and giving new life to items that would otherwise be discarded. Visit Vintagiamemphis to explore her creations.
