Jane Bazinet has emerged as an important American artist. Born in
Basile, Louisiana, she began painting during the 60's. Jane studied at Arizona State University
for five years and continued studying art thereafter as an apprentice under the able tutelage of
several painters. First exhibited in Scottsdale, Arizona, her paintings and prints soon found their
ways into collections (both public and private) and galleries across the world.
Although she has worked in numerous mediums, deftly treating a variety of themes, she is best known
for her lyrical figurative work, which dwells at a mysterious crossroad between poetic realism and
abstract expressionism. She has been recognized as an artist with an extremely personal style and
technique, which is romantic and contemporary.

Supporting charities with her creativity is an important part of Jane's work. She created and donated her Bra Art
(below) to LifeBridge Health for bravo!, an uplifiting event supporting Breast Cancer Awareness
in Baltimore, Maryland. More than 700 people attended this event and raised $60,000 for patients being treated at LifeBridge.
Another event in Baltimore on February 1, 2007, inspired by one of her paintings, was
"An Evening of Heart & Art", sponsored by The Ladies in Red and Smith Barney for the benefit of the
Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease and the newly created Center for Inherited Heart Disease at the
Johns Hopkins Heart Institute.
"New Dresses" (above) is the painting that started it all and led to Jane's "Ladies in Red", which represent
the international scope of this wonderful event. The ladies are from Baltimore (top left), Madrid (top right), Paris
(bottom left) and Vienna (bottom right). Prints are available of these original paintings.
