Sobre el Artista

Art for me is transformative. I am a painter, a multi media artist working primarily in ENCAUSTIC MEDIUM. I recieved an M.F.A. from U.C.L.A. and have done art for over 35 years. I studied with Richard Diebenkorn while working on my masters and also with J.De Feo at the SF Art INstitute. Mentoring me they inspired me to continue painting form natrue and the figure. my work ios influenced by my environment. Living on the northcoast of Calif. I am inspired by the ELEMENTS:Earth, Air, Fire and Water. I exhibit in the Bay Area,Calif, Colorado and in New Mexico galleries. I have recently been in the following shows: YOu may visit my website to see more of my resume and work. www.larainmathesonart.com 2014 Encaustic Art Institute, N.M. <" Nature of Art" 2014 Crestone Artisans Gallery, Co 2014 Mendocino Art Center Juried show 2014 Dianne Neuman Gallery Altar show 2014 Sebastopol Center for the Arts, Juried 'RED " show 2014 Conrad Wilde Gallery, Tuscon, 9th Invitational Encaustic 2014 Blue Canoe Cafe Gallery, Anchor Bay 2014 Handley Cellars Winery group show 2013 O Hanlon Center for the Arts, Juried exhibit, "Uncommon Landscapes" 2013 Berkeley Art Center, Members Show, "Array"Dec. 2013 DOLPHIN GALLERY-Sept. featured artist, 2013 STUDIO DISCOVERY TOUR, Gualala,Ca. 2013 Encaustic Art INstitute, New Mexico, members show 2013 Matheson Design Gallery, Gualala,Ca. 2013 Handley Winery Preview Show, Ca. 2013 Mendocino Art Center, Juried Show, Award 2013 Group Figure Show, Dolphin Gallery 2013-Published artwork in ART TAKES MIAMI, Fal. catalogue for 2012 exhibit 2012 Wax Digital Juried Show, INternational Encaustic Artiists 2012Crestone Artisans Gallery, Colo. 2012 Corner Gallery, Ukiah Ca. featured artist 2012 Mendocino Art Center, Ca.
