JANA FASELER

I fell in love with Santa Fe 20 years ago and moved here in 2024. I have lived all over the USA but Santa Fe feels like home. I have been an artist my whole life! My very early memories were the shades of red, orange, and carnation pink that lined the jumbo box of my Crayola Crayons—the one with the sharpener in the back. My first “canvases” were the white walls of our home—much to my parents' dismay. 

I would love to say I am inspired by glorious nature, fiery sunsets, sparkly oceans—but really what inspires me is… art itself. A charming subject or even a simple brushstroke can inspire me. When I see people looking at my own paintings and smiling and even giggling it makes me feel joy!

I create playful and positive compositions, happy colors, and feel-good scenes that I hope will inspire and shape positive emotions.
