Jotina Ballard

Jotina is an artist at the PASC Detroit Studio. She makes both paintings and drawings. When working in both watercolor and colored pencil. Jotina has a distinctive way of applying these mediums, by laying separate colors next to each other to create a thatched cross-hatching, like animal hair, with each strand a completely different color, giving her objects a furry rainbow quality. Her subjects range from religious iconography, to temples, to humans, to everyday objects.
