Jane’s artistic style is graphic, fresh, in-the-moment, always with an unexpected element of surprise. Her love of detail, mixed with sly humor, produces realistic subjects from a slightly different point of view. Her world travels and the common threads of traditional folk art, mosaics, architectural texture, design, color, with elements of nature influence all her work. Jane works in all medias, primarily paper and cloth.

 Jane LaFazio spent many years in the Graphic Design and Marketing field and has degrees in Graphic Design and Asian Studies. She is a native Californian, having lived in both northern and southern California. In between, she experienced the foreign ports of Seoul, South Korea and Corvallis, Oregon. In 1993, she began painting fine art pieces, and in 1998, dared to pursue her art full time. She believes she’s currently living the artist’s life she was meant to live and is passionate about creating art pieces that speak to other people. She loves learning and is continually attending workshops in fiber art, quilting, painting, assemblage and anything that piques her interest or further enhances her artwork.

 She has participated in many San Diego art exhibits and juried shows, including San Diego Art Institute, San Diego Watercolor Society, San Diego Museum of Art, ArtWalk (as a featured artist and refrigerator artist) and the Super Bowl 2003. Jane was commissioned to do 8 paintings for the permanent collection of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.

 Jane’s art quilts have been featured in “Material Visions: A Gallery of Miniature Art Quilts,” “Fabric Art Gallery” and “Beginner’s Guide to Art Quilts.” (See Books for more details) She teaches art quilts in San Diego County. (See Classes for details.)

  Life Motto:

“What I do today is important because I am paying a day of my life for it. What I accomplish must be worthwhile because the price is high.”

 Jane lives and works in San Diego with her beloved husband of 29 years and two cats.
