When I came back to New York, it (art) started right away\u2014it felt like the thing I\u2019d been missing when I didn\u2019t have a regular place to live.\u201d That missing piece of her life manifested itself in a variety of creative jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worked for years building sets and props and painting backdrops for music videos. That was kind of my \u2018art school\u2019 since I worked with a team and we\u2019d puzzle through ideas of how to do something together.\u201d One set, for example, was comprised of a dozen huge Rothko copies that she painted with one of her coworkers after lots of discussions about the colors and how much \u201cbrushiness\u201d to put into the edges of the color fields.<\/p>\n<p>She says she began exploring the possibilities of being a full-time artist, but found it hard to make it work in New York City. \u201cI would run out of savings and have to pick up some kind of work again. In 2006, after visiting Asheville a couple of times, she decided to move here. \u201cI thought it might work to just be an artist here, although I was afraid of being cut off from the wider art world. It seemed peaceful here, but not dull and I was feeling tired in New York.\u201d In the ten years she\u2019s lived here, Nava says, \u201cI\u2019ve managed it, but some years are better than others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Cover_Artist-Nava_Lubelski-2_clumsy_detail-Photo_by_Patrick_LeFebvre-copy_H.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4362\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4362\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Cover_Artist-Nava_Lubelski-2_clumsy_detail-Photo_by_Patrick_LeFebvre-copy_H.jpg\" alt=\"Cover Artist Nava Lubelski \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Cover_Artist-Nava_Lubelski-2_clumsy_detail-Photo_by_Patrick_LeFebvre-copy_H.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Cover_Artist-Nava_Lubelski-2_clumsy_detail-Photo_by_Patrick_LeFebvre-copy_H-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Cover_Artist-Nava_Lubelski-2_clumsy_detail-Photo_by_Patrick_LeFebvre-copy_H-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>Asked about her creative process, she responds, \u201cMy process is generally approaching chaos (in whatever medium) and trying to repair or order it without killing its essence.
