Journeys Through Nature, featuring oil paintings by Gergana Yordanova, explores the beauty, serenity, and fleeting moments found in nature and travel. Each piece is inspired by the artist’s personal photography of landscapes, sunsets, waterways, and botanical gardens, capturing the light, color, and atmosphere that pause the viewer in awe. The show’s themes focus on presence, calm, and connection, offering viewers a space to slow down and experience tranquility in their everyday lives. Through this collection, Gergana aims to bring joy, reflection, and inspiration into public and private spaces, whether in cafés, galleries, or hospitality environments.

“I am an oil painter inspired by my own photography of nature’s most breathtaking moments – glowing sunsets, turquoise waters, and peaceful landscapes. Each painting captures a fleeting moment that made me stop in awe and reminds me to slow down and be present. Through my art, I hope to bring that same sense of calm, joy, and connection into your everyday spaces.” – Gergana Yordanova
“I like to create art that engages the viewer. I hope to capture the viewer’s attention and invite them to create a story from the image. I often work in acrylic and watercolor paint with a limited palette and enjoy painting a wide variety of subjects.” – Constance Sanocki
Although I have drawn and painted for much of my life, I graduated with a BFA from Eastern Michigan University with an emphasis in Clay and Metal and a degree in teaching. This led me to a teaching career of nearly 40 years that included middle school, high school, and college. I earned my Masters in Art Education, and have earned many hours of credit beyond degrees in the further study of art. As passionate as I am about teaching, I feel as passionate about making art.
Appreciating the camaraderie of working and sharing with other artists I belong to a number of groups: Detroit Society of Women Painters and Sculptors, Michigan Water Color Society, Michigan Ceramics Art Association, and I belong to and serve on the Board of the Brighton Art Guild.
Exhibit locations of my work have ranged from many areas in Michigan, and Ohio, and pieces of my art are in several private collections nationally. My studio is in Wixom. Learn more at pameladaystudio.com or email pameladay@ameritech.net.

“My Giverny Series is based on one photo taken in the Spring at Claude Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France. It has offered me a variety of compositions that I have explored with color, proportion, and textures in my own style of stylized-realism.”
