This is what I was born to do. From the time that I was 8 years old I knew that I would be an artist. There just wasn't any doubt, no second choice, no question. To create art is part of my purpose in this life. I believe true art is that which is created completely and wholly out of the heart of the artist. No matter what it is, it is something that the artist feels. That he or she wants to express, having a desire to create something where there was nothing before. 

The artist opens her heart to share and create expressions for the world to see, giving the viewer a chance to open up their hearts and minds, allowing themselves to experience the thoughts and feelings an artwork provokes. To the viewer, art can be an incredible visual stimulus, often affecting your mind and your spirit. To the artist, creating artwork is like allowing you a view into our soul.

Jane Nassano holds a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Arizona State  University, with a specialization in Graphic Design. She has completed post graduate work at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and has been accepted into the Master of Fine Arts program at California State University, Fullerton.

Nassano's art and business experience is extensive, having founded and managed her  own design firm in Orange County, California. Her background also includes a twenty-four month project in Barbados, West Indies, developing a neon sign design-production plant. As both founder and Senior Designer, Nassano integrated the disciplines of graphic design, fine art and technical acumen in her role.

With the Arizona desert calling her back, Nassano's return to Arizona in 1992 was accompanied by a shift in her career commitment to fine art, where she continues to be a working artist. Nassano has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Kansas City, Chicago, Washington D.C., Denver, throughout Colorado and Arizona. She has annually participated in Scottsdale's prestigious "Celebration of Fine Art" and the "Fine Art Expo," juried two-month shows. 

Nassano's work is represented in private collections across the United States. She has received numerous awards for her work, most recently the Arizona Art Alliance First Place Award for both the Spring and Fall exhibitions in 2006. Nassano accepts commissions for a wide range of subject matter.
