As a self-taught
artist, I approach my work from a purely emotional and sensitive
source, without much regard for any painting tradition. My work
is free and spontaneous. For me painting is like free-jazz improvisation,
allowing the moment to guide the composition. As a painting develops,
it tells me how to proceed. The process is an ongoing dialogue that
pulls and tugs between representational and abstract images. The
circle is complete when others harmonize with the message of free
expression. Making that connection is very important to me. Through
the beauty and creation of art, we can realize our connection to
each other, and the web of life.

Instinctual and improvisational, Jovani’s stylings in art parallel
and compliment her explorations of avant garde jazz upon some interesting
and primary levels. Elements as diverse as analytical cubism and
passionate expressionism can appear as glimpsed influences in a
single ingenuous scene, reflecting a self-learned assimilation of
effect against the urgent disregard of the Naïve or Outsider
"school" for cause. The result, as in much of John Marin’s
early work, leaves an impression of being portraits of energy. Born
into a family of ten children in Los altos, California in 1957,
Jovani attributes her generally rebellious attitude in the arts
to her struggles against an early environment she felt restricting.

Each of Jovani’s paintings seems to be a history of the energy
and process that she puts into each work. Beyond that, she aims
to enlist her personality and emotions in each painting. The result
of these two streams of energy is a style that she attaches with
the Gestural school of thought. She achieves this effect by concentrating
her skills on emphasizing the intensity and placement of her paint.
Combining various colors with a mind for shape and placement, each
work manages to exist in the paradox of simultaneous order and chaos.
The tension between these realms creates the ideal playground for
exploring the entire range of her feelings and ideas. In all her
emotions, she has created a reputation that has brought her work
exposure coast to coast.
