(Canada, b. 1983)
珍娜．华生 Janna Watson (加拿大, b. 1983)，目前创作及居住于加拿大多伦多。拥有安大略艺术与设计学院的绘画荣誉学位。华生Watson以抽象绘画作为逃避及回归现实的方式，当她将我们所认知的世界非物质化为笔触，她的绘画也以鲜明的构图与色彩唤起观者的情感。受到古典构图及现代主义几何的影响，她的作品优雅却充满力量，以离散却又无法分割的色块组合成束的色彩。曾多次参与国际展览，包括多伦多艺术博览会、迈阿密 CONTEXT 艺术博览会和西雅图艺术博览会等，作品由丽思卡尔顿（the Ritz-Carlton）饭店、萨克斯第五大道精品百货（Saks Fifth Avenue）、纽约HBC全球艺术收藏（HBC Global Art Collection）、加拿大高级摩天公寓Aura、Soho Metropolitan饭店及金融机构美国TD银行、加拿大帝国商业银行等机构永久收藏。
华生Watson将她各种笔触和混合颜料称之为「瞬间」，每个瞬间都有各自的情感重量与叙事权重，她以独树一帜的风格与概念与当代环境相互呼应，而非只是将抽象绘画退却到一个无法辨识的领域。笔刷俐落的划过又转向折叠，细致而刚硬的墨线作为基础元素，切入了绘画领域，所有元素在画面上构成缓慢而多彩的渐层，这些背景温柔地指向熟悉的事物。华生Watson 所做的是给予绘画一个空间，让它在自己的时间内揭示自己。
