About Me

My name is Jane Magarigal.  Welcome to my website. You have entered into the world of my artistic vision.  I am a painter, printmaker graphic artist and photographer.  What I present to you here is my life's work, beginning in 1973.   Old and new  projects are uploaded regularly, so please keep coming back.  I hope you have a good time.

The concept behind Adopt Starving Artist website was due to a political art project addressing the loss of funding for the arts in our schools.  The overall design of AASA is the result of this project.  The AASA vending machine, an assemblage, received best in class at the California State Fair, 2008.  My desire is to place working AASA Vending Machines in contemporary art galleries and museums.  It would be great if AASA could actually begin helping struggling artists.  So, commissions are welcome, and, while you’re at it buy a tee shirt, cup, etc.

Always a lover of photography, I began in earnest to discover my own photographic expression through the visual world of a lens.  Initially, I shot everything and everyone.  My favorite subjects included people and urban spaces.

I was associated with the band "Supertramp"--one of the great life experiences.  A friend and fan, I was privileged to be their exclusive European and British photographer during their 1977 Even In  The Quietest Moments tour.  

Married and living in England between 1976 and 1978, I set out to find my next project.  Always  camera ready, I discovered the beauty of the London Underground quite by accident. Traveling to and from the West End by 'Tube', I took a couple of pictures of some structural elements. As I watched these images come up  in the developer, I was struck by its beauty.  I had found my subject,  and, for the majority of my last year in London, I traveled and shot underground.  Presently I am digitizing this collection.

Coming back to Los Angeles, I connected with Bruno Schreck and became his number       one assistant.  Because of his kind and generous nature, I learned about the studio.  Bruno became one of New York's top photographers.   After Bruno left, I dabbled in a fair            about me continued
