{"title":"Jane Skafte","description":"\u003cp class=\"Body\"\u003eA native of Illinois, Skafte earned her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA in Fibers and MA in Textile Design from Syracuse University. Navigating the gulf between decorative and fine art, she drew inspiration from Sonia Delaunay and Anni Albers-- women who had renown as decorative artists, who also made significant contributions as fine artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Body\"\u003eThroughout Jane\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',serif; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003es career she has worked creatively with product design. Her first profession as a textile designer led her to Lenox China in New Jersey to create commercial art for tableware.

Her work is poetic and abstract rather than a literal depiction of her subject matter, whether exploring the beauty of the Virginia landscape or tackling climate change. In 2006, Skafte turned her artistic focus to illustrate planetary issues such as pollution, energy extraction, and the collapse of the ecosystem. Her award winning work depicting climate has been published in online journals and has been widely exhibited. Her current work is returning to abstraction derived from nature, and is exploring new approaches to botanical illustration and pattern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Body\"\u003eShe has had solo exhibitions throughout Virginia, and group exhibitions along the east coast, New York and California. She taught art and design at universities and community colleges and now teaches drawing and painting privately at her downtown Charlottesville studio at McGuffey Art Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
