Cheri Christensen Art

b. 1961

Cheri Christensen was born in Enumclaw, Washington, a small rural town of horse, dairy and cattle ranches at the foot of Mt. Rainer. She attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and graduated with a BA from the University of Washington. Christensen studied oil painting and drawing intensely for three years with Ron Lukas, a protégé of Sergei Bongart, who taught in the tradition of Russian Impressionism. Christensen concentrates on seeing and conveying the effects of color and light on form. The first painting Chistensen submitted to a competition was included in a prestigious exhibition at the Charles Emma Frye Art Museum in Seattle and the first painting to include farm animals received the Beatrice Jackson Memorial award for Best Traditional Landscape in the Allied Artists of America 1995 show. She currently lives in Texas.

Chuck Mauldin Born 1949 Fredericksburg Artist Image Size: 8 x 10 Frame Size: 12 x 14 Medium: Oil "Momma Likes Shade" A native of Texas, Chuck Mauldin has been painting in oil since the age of twelve. His interest in watercolor and pencil drawing grew during his years spent in Louisiana. With his move back to Texas, he has renewed his focus on oil painting, using this medium in a realistic yet painterly style. Striving to quickly capture color and mood with a direct "alla prima" technique is one of his main objectives in painting outdoors on-location. Cows, cowboys and Native Americans often enrich the landscape in his studio work, while anything can inspire his plein air paintings. Workshops with Charles...
