Lazzerini became inspired by art during her childhood, when much time was spent in her father's mosaic studio in Italy. “The translucency of mosaic images and the way colours can vibrate against each other always fascinated me.” The Tuscan landscape and her childhood memories bear a strong influence on Lazzerini’s work and her use of colour plays an important role in conveying emotion in all her subjects.
Lazzerini has received numerous awards for her painting and has been exhibiting widely for the last thirty years.
