Jia Lu is one of America's foremost realist figure painters. Born in China to a family of artists, she has worked in the US, Canada and Japan as a professional artist and designer since 1983. Jia Lu's style is about beauty, spirit and wisdom. She describes her career as a process of self-discovery, a search for self-knowledge and a celebration of self- confidence.

New Website

At long last, we've re-engineered the JiaLu.com website. There are still a few sections to fill in, but we hope you'll enjoy the many new paintings, sketches, photos and designs that we've added to date. Thank you for your patience during the long wait. From now on we'll be updating the galleries and articles as quickly as Jia Lu can create new work, or as fast as we can scan old art. For a daily peek into Jia's life, visit her blog.
