Jane Bauman

Jane Bauman was born in Burbank, California and considers growing up in Los Angeles County to be a formative influence. Surf culture, the psychedelic hippie movement, and the Hollywood movie industry coexisted and contributed to the creation of an enriched environment.

After graduating from Santa Clara University Bauman went to graduate school at the San Francisco Art Institute where she became an active participant in the punk/no wave culture of the late 1970s and began to do her first street art as well as making paintings and sculpture. After graduate school in 1980 Bauman moved to NYC and became a part of the East Village Art Scene where she was represented by Civilian Warfare Gallery. In addition to showing her work extensively in NY and Western Europe, she did collaborations with David Wojnarowicz, Huck Snyder, Paul Benney and Mark C. including extensive work at the legendary Pier 34.

In 1989 she moved back to Southern California and became a Fine Arts Professor at Coastline College in Orange County. From 2003 - 2013 she taught six Study Abroad Programs in Florence, Italy which had a big impact on her art. Scape, Terrain Gallery, Brett Rubbico Gallery and Jamie Brooks Fine Arts have represented her in California. She currently is a member of the 515 Bendix Gallery in Los Angeles.
