Vena Kava, born in the Carpathian region of Eastern Europe, is an American artist known mostly for her fantasy art photography and mixed media, singing, and modeling work.
Kava became interested in the visual arts at college and started painting, taking classes at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Becoming frustrated with what she saw as painting's limitation, she abandoned it and moved to Boston to attend Emerson College with a masters specialty in film production.
She made a short experimental film “She Blow Smoke,” which was highly influenced by Keneth Anger and highlighted some of her early frustrations and personal conflicts.
In 2012 Vena Kave moved to Montreal, Canada where she is currently the lead singer of Aversion, a black metal band.
