Max and Me is a group of new works by Jana Millstone that she views as a collaboration with her artist father who died before her first birthday. She has interpreted and incorporated his images into her works created in both paint and fiber. Jana says: “It is a way to get to know the man who gave me life but did not live to share in mine”.
