An abstract expressionistic painter living and working in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ivana has sought to capture “the spirit of place” in her art, finding inspiration not only in her current surroundings, but also in her fragmented memories of Europe where she grew up.
Her current large-scale work, inspired by southwestern hues and views, is usually painted from memory, “guided by intuition and fueled by imagination.” Unafraid of challenges, her style bold, her approach sometimes messy, Starcevic’s curiosity and passion infuse her paintings.
Her work, described by one critic as “unshakably cosmopolitan, irreversibly modern and strikingly innovative,” has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and her pieces are in both public and private collections.
