Hi, I’m Jane Cozart, a visual artist and educator based in California. I specialize in representational painting, illustration, and graphic design, with years of professional work spanning agencies, freelancing, and academia. My work has been shown in galleries and featured in toy design and publishing, and I enjoy collaborating with clients from toys to advertising. When I’m not painting or teaching, I explore natural subjects and animals to inform my art, and I value curiosity, patience, and experimentation.
