Rebecca SobinHeat Lightning
About the Item
"Heat Lighting", an abstract painting by Rebecca Sobin executed in oil, cold wax medium, and pastel powder on a cradled wood panel; measuring 12 x 12 inches.
A warm, harmonious composition with bright, active details that resemble bursts of lighting in a stormy sky. The composition uses reds, golds, burgundy, and white to achieve a luminous sensation.
Rebecca Sobin is a contemporary abstract artist who divides her time between the Rocky Mountains of Montana and the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. She self-describes as both an artist and a science geek and considers these two aspects of her life as being a cross-pollination, each perfectly balancing the other.
Sobin holds her Master's and clinical Doctorate in Chinese medicine. After years in both higher education (professor and clinical dean) and seeing patients in the clinical setting, she retired from medicine to fully focus on her painting. The journey to deeply delve into her art went through several incarnations – musician, poet, photographer, and watercolorist – all leading to the abstract work she embraces today.
All her current collections of work are created using layers of primarily oil and cold wax on cradled, wood panels, however Sobin considers her work as mixed media, as many techniques and mediums are combined to create her Abstract-expressive paintings.
Sobin sometimes feels as if she is making up for lost time, and although she has not spent a lifetime focused solely on her artwork, she has already participated in many group and juried shows and is represented by seven galleries across the western states. She is a member of American Women Artists, The Montana Pastel Society, The Artist Alliance (Santa Fe), and the Tubac Center of the Arts (AZ).
She considers home-base as anywhere her husband, dogs, and studio are located.

Statement from the Artist: "I work in oil and cold wax on panels, creating topographical, sculptural, and multilayered paintings. As an abstract artist, I translate my perceived reality into color and shape, creating a “topography of place” in my work. My mission is to create a span that traverses both the internal and external landscape. I want people to see and feel the connectivity from the self, the inner landscape, to the earth, terra firma - the outer landscape through the visual conduit of color, shape, gesture, motion. Art is a way to connect the sense of self and the environment we live in."

- Tributaries Abstract River Oil Cold Wax Original Bonnie Zahn Griffith PaintingLocated in Whitefish, MT"Tributaries" by Bonnie Zahn Griffith, Oil and Cold Wax Medium on Wood Panel, 18" x 18" unframed, 20" x 20" framed in a modern black frame with hanging wire included. Known for her plein air pastels, Bonnie also does some amazing abstract pieces like this one. Bonnie Zahn Griffith is an artist of the western landscape, working in oils and pastels. The rich pigments of pastel and oil allows her to create paintings that have the brilliance and the bold color we see in the landscapes of the western United States, giving her unlimited options to create. These mediums allow Griffith to bring depth and texture, light and mood into her paintings. "My goal is to create work that draw the viewer in to experience and imagine the time of day, the temperature, the sounds, the smells. I want the viewer to experience the work and get lost in it – if only for a moment. My love of the landscape prompts me to paint it. I look for a story to tell when I look at the sagebrush hills, the lush river lands, the wheat fields, the intense greens of spring in rich mountain valleys and the ever changing colors of the desert. My mediums allow me to tell that story with strong color and intensity." As a child of artist parents, Griffith grew up on a ranch near the Missouri Breaks in central Montana. They lived in a remote area and that allowed for a lot of self-directed entertainment - drawing, painting, reading, horseback riding and daily ranch chores. Griffith was a self-proclaimed artist at age 5, getting into her mother's paints and paper. Landscape shapes, texture and color were observed and studied. Famous artists like Russell, O’Keefe and Payne were favorite sources of reference. "I don't remember ever being "bored" because there was always something to do that interested me! Pretty much all of that stuck with me through a career in Radiology Sciences; showing work in galleries and exhibits during that time. In the mid 1990's my art became a full time endeavor." Bonnie Zahn Griffith has studied with instructors such as Robert Moore, Lorenzo Chavez, Ned Mueller and others in the quest to strengthen and develop her style of representational work. Griffith is a signature member and the Secretary for the Pastel Society of the West Coast, a signature member of and past President for the Northwest Pastel Society, member of the Landscape Artists International (juried membership), Plein Air Painters of Idaho and American Impressionist Society. She has served 7 years as the chair for the Meridian (ID) Arts Commission, has served as the Executive Director of WaterWorks Art Museum, Miles City, MT and curator for several galleries. Griffith also teaches workshops in plein air technique, pastel painting techniques (Studio and Plein Air) and multimedia art. She works out of her studio in southwestern Idaho and paints plein air throughout the Rocky Mountain region, the western US...Category
