Melissa Franklin Sanchez is an East End resident every summer, but also a graduate and instructor at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. Sanchez studied dance and acting in the UK before she moved to Florence. Painting on copper, which was a 17th-century innovation, has allowed her also to pursue her classical orientation, but with an updated look. In 2002, she graduated from her humanistic studies: art, music, English literature, performing arts and ballet. In 2003, she completed an intensive art foundation course at the Slade School of Art, London. She then enrolled at the Florence Academy of Art, a school dedicated to the study of realistic and figurative art. She graduated with a three-year diploma in painting and was offered a fourth year of specialization. Her work is currently represented in both Europe and the USA by InPARADISO Art Gallery in Venice, Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor, New York and Jack Meier Gallery, Houston, Texas. She is also an artist member of the Concilio delli’Arte. Her love of Italy, its culture, beauty and tradition will continue to be an inspiration for her life and her work. Recently, Sanchez has created a series of paintings inspired by her new home in Fiesole. She sought after gem-like interiors are inspired by the likes of celebrated Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi, with their dramatic lighting and a deep sense of intimacy. Sanchez has made an important shift from painting on copper panels to aluminum panels to create more ambitious larger images.

Located in Loveland, CO
Yellow Glads by Lu Haskew Oil on Canvas Floral Still Life 16x24" Image Size, 22x30" Framed ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
