Shana LaFore

Visual Art – Madison

As an artist I specialize in large-scale, abstract paintings with bold colors and texture. In addition, I represent a select group of talented artists with a wide variety of artistic styles. The six years I lived and worked in Northern Italy give me a distinctive perspective on art and design. I continue to travel regularly visiting international showrooms and galleries to stay current on the latest trends and gain exposure to classic art and architecture. After acquiring my certification in Art Education in 2001 from the University of WI-Madison, I taught for 8 years at the Monroe Street Fine Art center splitting my time between Italy and Wisconsin. I received my certification in Interior and Industrial Design from the Accademia Italiana in 2005, and have worked as a professional interior designer and artist since that time. In the spring of 2010 I opened LaFore Art and Design LLC offering cutting edge interior design and art consulting services specializing in artisan made Italian furniture and original local artwork. By collaborating with highly talented artists, artisans, architects, vendors, and installers I provide personalized attention to every detail throughout the design process, ensuring that the client's expectations are exceeded!
