First Friday Art Stroll with Kara Jane Aina
March 5th | 6-9pm | Free
Kara Jane Aina was born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada. She attended art school at Mount Allison University in Canada then transferred to Brigham Young University in Utah where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in Intaglio and Lithography. She also received an Art Education K-12 teaching certification from Utah State University. She currently teaches art to grades 9-12 through a school in West Jordan, Utah. Although she loves teaching, pursuing her own creative instincts is her passion.
Kara Jane works primarily in watercolor and oil paints. Her work is inspired by connections and interactions she has with family, friends and nature. She paints florals, botanicals, abstracts, still life and surface design fabric for licensing. She enjoys having multiple projects on the go and alternating between them allowing the ideas to “percolate.” She has a deep love for a simple and clean aesthetic, dramatic watercolor washes, vintage fabrics, and the interplay of shape, pattern and color.
Kara Jane’s work can be found in local shows and markets, on her website, through minted.com, and on a variety of products featuring her artwork in collaborations with various companies.

In the words of Monroe:
"My name is Monroe Gilbert. I am nine years old and I love to make candles. I started doing research on different waxes and fragrances, and convinced my mom to let me have a little business. I did not think it would have gone this far. I am very proud of myself (so are my mom and dad!). When I am not making candles, I am always dancing. I started competition dance when I was three, and currently dance for Utah Dance Academy. It is safe to say that between dance and candlemaking, I am always pretty busy!"
