Max Flandorfer Art

American, b. 1962

Max Flandorfer, a plein air painter, is always seeking to capture the spiritual and humble quality of nature. His work evokes a restful, contemplative stillness that he seeks, both in life and his art. Growing up in Miami, Flandorfer spent most weekends and summers outdoors in the Everglades, or on the water soaking up the rich color, and beauty of the tropical landscape. He lived in California for over 20 years and currently resides in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Mostly self-taught, Flandorfer was forever drawing and sketching as a kid, but the beautiful landscape and rich artistic heritage of the Monterey peninsula's artist colony was the deciding influence on his later works. An illustration instructor, Jane Miller of Monterey Peninsula College, encouraged him to study early California greats such as Granville Redmond and Guiseppe Cadennaso, whereby they helped to influence his early palette and style. Although Flandorfer’s current work is uniquely his own, he owes a debt to the early pioneers of California Impressionism. With so much of that landscape quickly disappearing, he tries to capture the spiritual beauty and glimpse of paradise we all seek in our lives. Flandorfer exhibited at Monterey Peninsula College (student /faculty show), Ohr O'Keeffe Museum of Art and “Juried Gulf States Competition 2006.” He is a member of the California Art Club (painting patron).

High Country Spirit
By Cathy Goodale
Located in Loveland, CO
High Country Spirit by Cathy Goodale Wildlife Elk Oil Painting image: 20x20" Gallery wrapped, no frame, edges painted black ABOUT THE ARTIST: “If you pay attention, art transcends all parts of life and makes the ordinary things in life ‘a painting’. My passion is nature, where everything connects for me. This energy saturates my work.” Cathy Goodale is a dedicated, persistent, and educated artist whose style reflects individuality. Her career has been filled with painting, teaching and learning. The demand for excellence, painting in oil and watercolor, continues to drive all of her endeavors and imagination pushes her to paint past ‘artistic safe places’. Growing up in Denver, Colorado, with an early introduction to art classics through her grandmother was instrumental in leading Cathy to Stephens College in Missouri and to a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Northern Colorado. She continued her art training at Denver University, studying commercial art under William Sanderson. Along with art, she has a degree in special education, but this career did not suit her. She knew that art would be her lifelong pursuit. The Estes Park resident maintains a busy schedule with monthly workshops at Loveland's Sculpture Depot and in Estes Park. Specific topics include techniques, color, detail and shapes. An established artist in her own right, Goodale's focus is on teaching. The classes typically run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with plenty of one-on-one instruction. Her teaching allows for travel to plein-air paint, she frequents Colorado, California, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, Nebraska and Wyoming. But has also traveled abroad for workshops in Africa, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France and even Russia. These experiences of different cultures will always be one of her greatest learning and life moments. On one such adventure with 21 fellow artists, they used the subway system in Paris to go to selected locations to paint. Another trip was with internationally known Richard Schmid for two weeks traveling around Italy. Doing portraits of African children was another adventure. On a trip to Russia, Goodale presented a one-woman show. The opportunity to study with the best has been a gift. She has studied with Charles Reid, Richard Schmid, Burt Silverman...
