Career

Exhibitions

Lazzari has had over 40 solo exhibitions of her work including those at the Billis Williams Gallery[18][19], Los Angeles, at the Fresno Art Museum[20], Riverside Art Museum[21][22], and USC Fisher Museum of Art. Her work has been selected for more than 70 group shows. As half of the Lazzari Evans Public Art design team, she has produced eight public commissions, with themes that make evident the persistence of nature in urban environments.

Publications

In addition to numerous magazine art reviews, Lazzari has authored or co-authored several popular art textbooks, including: Exploring Art: a Global, Thematic Approach[25]; The Practical Handbook for the Emerging Artist; Drawing; Life Drawing; and Art and Design Fundamentals.[16] In contrast to traditional Art Appreciation texts, Exploring Art pioneered an innovative thematic, rather than chronological, structure and much greater inclusion of non-Western art.

Awards and honors

Lazzari's honors and awards for her work include a Visual Artist Fellowship[26] from the National Endowment for the Arts, 1995, and Distinguished Woman Artist, 2015, Fresno Art Museum Council of 100.[20]
