Jana Botkin makes art people understand, of places and things they love, at prices that won't scare them.
What Jana's customers say about her work:
Oil
I hired Jana to paint a cabin scene in oil as a gift to my husband. She worked closely with me to fulfill my specific request, and best of all, the finished product hangs proudly in my husband’s office, reminding him daily of our little piece of paradise.
Lisa McEwen
Jana was a delight to work with. She was very professional, knowledgeable and eager to please us. She did a painting of our home in early spring when lupine, redbud, and poppies were in bloom. All our visitors ask who painted the beautiful picture of our home. Our painting is very impressive.
Cynthia & Stanley Oliver
I would highly recommend Jana for commission work. She has a unique ability for taking my thoughts and ideas and creating a work that combines the detail of a photo with the emotion of a painting. A pleasure to work with, she always keeps the customer’s wants and needs at the forefront of her work.
Daniel Vassar
I have two commissioned pieces from Jana: an oil painting and a pencil drawing, along with several more smaller oils that I love. She was great to work with on the commission pieces…wanted me to be very pleased and I am!
Cathy Lean
Pencil
We have been the happy beneficiaries of Jana’s work with three of her works hanging prominently in our home. One of them is a commissioned work – a view of our Three Rivers home from Dinely Bridge.
Ben & Judy Coombs
We have always cherished Jana’s Cabins of Mineral King and commissioned her to draw our cabin for our family at Christmas. From the beginning, we found Jana to have great and helpful ideas, to be flexible, and a delight to work with while producing great results. On top of all this, she kept our Christmas gift project a secret from our family! What a success!
Tom & Linda Petrich
I asked Jana to do a drawing, that in my opinion, would be difficult: a drawing of my great-grandfather’s barn. All she had to work from was a fuzzy photo from 1932. She did a wonderful job. All of my extended family loved it and prints of it are in homes across the country today. “Thank you for using your talents to help us save the history of our family.”

Murals
Jana’s talents go far beyond her artistic vision. She produced the murals at the entrance of the Tulare County Museum and beautifully intertwined my ideas with hers, adding some personal touches specific to the museum. Jana is a joy to work with and seeing her art take shape on our walls was magical!
Amy King -Tulare County Museum Curator
Thank you for taking on such a difficult mural. After seeing all your samples and art work I knew you were the right person for the task. The mural was completed within our time frame and it was a true pleasure to work with you. Your expertise and professionalism were depicted in our wonderful mural. Great job.
