After moving to the North Coast in 2001, Elaine Fasano exhibited artwork as a member of the Ink People, in various commercial establishments, in Eureka, California. In 2002, she became a member of the Humboldt Art Council at the Morris Graves Museum. Elaine has since exhibited photography and digital art in HAC member's shows, and various assemblages, in the Junque Art Exhibition. Her participation in the Art in Motion Project, in 2008, resulted in her creation, the Sea Goddess which was displayed at Ramone's Cafe, in Old Town, Eureka, CA. While living in the San Joaquin Valley, I studied painting, sculpture, photography, and digital art and became fascinated by the ongoing expansion of technology. By collecting recycled items and computer parts, I feel that I am helping to clean up the environment while creating one-of-a-kind assemblages. Several years ago, some of my artwork was selected to be on the labels of five great wines, by a winemaker from Napa Valley California, Mitch Cosentino. Since then, I am continuing to work with oils and acrylics and the subject of my work is wine art. My passion for the vineyards, and the beauty and nature surrounding them is probably due to being raised near Livermore Wine Country, in Gustine, California. I remember my father used to say, "Always reach deep for your Al di La". In Italian it means to reach for beyond the beyond.
