How did you get started and then develop your career?
Patricia A Griffin: It was the 80s, I was in high school, and every chance I could, I took the bus into New York City to explore SOHO. The work was raw and edgy, and I was transformed. Marisol Escobar, Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Bourgeois, and Cindy Sherman showed me what success looked like, and I wanted it.
I received a BFA in drawing at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1989, I moved to California, spent all my money on paint, and painted any available surface. Two years later, I returned to PA, joined a co-op, approached galleries, and entering juried shows. The community I lived in rarely spent more than a few hundred dollars on paintings, and it was brutally obvious; I would have to find my market somewhere else. I traveled and got gallery representation, joined associations, and consistently padded my resume.
I researched the market and started to approach larger galleries in the areas I found most inspirational and consistently upped my game with marketing. I continue to work seven days a week, 8 to 12 hours a day (if my family is otherwise occupied). I take great pleasure: in being a consultant to artists wishing to take their career to the next level, doing commission work, and trying every creative idea that pops into my head.
How do you describe success?
My success is due to the acceptance of many failures and rejections, my commitment to reaching my goals artistically by allowing my process and style to morph over time, and a razor focus on marketing.
How do you find inspiration?
The light wrapping around an object creating a halo of color.
The extensively long eyelash on a pronghorn.
The vibration of two colors touching.
The buttery texture of paint.
These simple pleasures inspire me endlessly.
What is the best thing about being an artist?
Hearing people talk about how an image engages, connects, and moves them; meandering in the wild and calling it work; meditating and opening myself to be the conduit for the imagery; playing with color; all of these make being an artist THE BEST.
Who do you collect?
If you expect someone to invest in your career, invest in someone else’s. Rembrandt (self-portrait etching), a Henry Hensche (portrait of a woman with red hair), Frank Weston Benson (etchings), Kellyann Burns, Julie Chapman, Ed Chestnovitch, Joe Garcia, Linda Guenste, Aaron Hazel, Hillarie Lambert, David Petlowany, Mary Roberson, Ron Russon, Sandy B Taylor, Silas Thompson, Carrie Wild, Diane Whitehead, Jennifer Von Benedikt. All feed my soul and grace my walls.

Michelle Jung Is “Making Waves” Alongside Erin Hanson’s “Colors of California” at the Santa Paula Art Museum
More from the museum:
“Making Waves,” is a solo show by Northern California artist Michelle Jung, who began painting professionally at age 40. She has a particular fondness for the sea as she has lived near the coast—east and west—for much of her life.
“Making Waves” is a large-scale, immersive presentation of seascape oil paintings that invites viewers to experience the beauty and drama of the Pacific coast. The exhibit will be on view June 5, 2021, to September 12, 2021. Like all of the Museum’s current exhibits, “Making Waves” will also be available to enjoy online.
Jung’s exhibit will be installed alongside Erin Hanson’s “Colors of California,” which is already receiving rave reviews from museum visitors. Hanson is widely recognized (and has hundreds of thousands of followers online) due to her masterful use of color and unique style of oil painting known as “Open Impressionism.”
Hanson’s exhibit at the Santa Paula Art Museum is inspired by the changing seasons and colors of California’s vineyards, coastlines, hills and oak trees. “Erin Hanson: Colors of California” is on view now through July 25, 2021.

Free Art History Lecture > Vanessa Bell and Gwen John: Women Who Pushed the Artistic Envelope in Early 20th-Century Britain
They pursued very different life journeys and created completely distinctive art, yet the British artists Vanessa Bell (1879–1961) and Gwen John (1876–1939) had much in common. Both were born in the Victorian era that expected quite little from women, yet each in her own way surprised—sometimes shocked—their contemporaries while making forward-looking artworks still admired today.
Gwen John, “Self-Portrait,” 1902, oil on canvasVanessa Bell, “Self-Portrait,” ca 1915, oil on canvas laid on panel
Bell was both a painter and interior designer, a leading member of the Bloomsbury Group in London, and sister of the writer Virginia Woolf. Although born in Wales, John spent most of her life painting in France, where she became one of Auguste Rodin’s many models and lovers. During her lifetime, she was overshadowed by her famous artist-brother Augustus John, but now her reputation has eclipsed his.
Fine Art Connoisseur editor-in-chief Peter Trippi traces these artists’ colorful lives and career paths while examining their important achievements.

"The Annunciation," ca. 1580, by Maerten de Vos (Flemish, 1532-1603); oil on canvas, courtesy of a private collection
This selection of paintings and prints from a major private Charleston collection of Northern Renaissance art introduces a world of intensely, and sometimes disturbingly, vivid imagery.
Created in the Low Countries and Germany between 1440 and 1590, this is a world of contradictions and unease—whether the subject is a troubled Virgin Mary contemplating her young son, or a menacing group of malevolent figures inspired by Hieronymus Bosch, or Albrecht Dürer’s famous scenes from Revelations.
In the turbulent era of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Reformation in Northern Europe, viewers found their hopes, desires, and anxieties mirrored in images like these inspiring pious belief or depicting fantastic visions of good and evil.

From cityscapes to landscapes to figurative art, this painter shares both his inspiration and process.
The following was originally written and published in 2015
Inspiration and the Journey Through Process
BY JACOB DHEIN
Cityscapes
Living in San Francisco is a gift in itself. The city is visually one of the most amazing in the world: it has elevation fluctuations, many cultures that influence the scenery, the ocean, cliffs, and lots of fog. I often walk around the city with my camera. Once when I was walking through Chinatown I noticed that the light and shadow patterns were just amazing. I immediately started snapping photos, and as if by fate, a line of young children walked into my camera frame. The way the light and shadow bounced off the children as they walked in and out of shadow was exquisite.
Soon after downloading the images I began the painting “Chinatown.” I began with an accurate drawing of the shadow pattern and filled it in with a dark wash, allowing some of the paint to run during application. After the dark pattern, I began adding the light, and eventually worked in limited detail into the shadow. By using a pixelated or blurry look, a sense of energy and the feel of movement created the dynamics of bustling Chinatown. I was careful not to overwork the painting, and I allowed some of the underpainting to show so the viewer could see my process.

Another one of my favorite cityscape subjects is trolley cars in the rain, an iconic San Francisco image. These images have so much character and create a strong focal point. The tracks and overhead power lines act as a natural lead-in and enhance one-point perspective. The wet surface on the street is marvelous. The reflecting image suggests there is another mysterious world below the street.
“Market Trolley in the Rain II” was painted in a manner similar to “Chinatown.” In contrast to “Chinatown,” I let the underpainting dry before adding the final details. This ensured the two layers did not mix, making the paint application easier and bolder.

Landscape
Landscape painting is an exhilarating experience. It provides a sense of freedom and divinity, allowing me to bend compositions to my will. It allows me to move, change, or leave out areas without consequence. The majority of my landscapes are plein air paintings.
Several years ago a group of colleagues from AAU and I started painting together. During our plein air outings we discuss painting techniques and philosophies of art. During a plein air trip to Yosemite I remember talking with a fellow artist, James Kroner. He had the enthusiasm of a child at their first carnival when talking about photo references of rock structures he photographed at dusk. He explained why these images were so magnificent.
My eyes widened and I started seeing the forms as separate abstract elements that intricately work together. It is a great gift whenever I am able to see the world from a new perspective.
Jacob Dhein, “Rock Structure at Yosemite,” 16 x 16 inches, Oil on panel
On the last day of the trip our group went on the Tioga Road and found an awe-inspiring spot. There were rock formations everywhere, making it easy to choose a proper vantage point. Finding one, I envisioned the process leading to the finished painting. I’ve found that having a preconceived notion of what I want my painting to look like significantly increases my chances of success. The site I chose had multiple natural lead-ins to the area of interest.
During the next two hours I struggled with the painting because it wasn’t quite what I envisioned. After returning to San Francisco I put the painting away for a few weeks. When I looked at it again I was surprised that all the frustration creating it seemed to have been worked out. Although it wasn’t quite what I imagined I was very happy with the finished look and it became one of my favorite plein air paintings. I think the composition is very different from other painting I have done, and the busy detail work on the top quarter portion balances out nicely with the bottom area of the simple rock formation.
On another plein air excursion we went to Fisherman’s Wharf. There are amazing areas to paint in its nooks and crannies, if you’re not afraid to explore a little. I had a studio in North Beach, only a ten minute walk from Fisherman’s Wharf, and during that time I did many paintings in and around the Wharf.
To my surprise during one visit, one of the piers under construction for so long had reopened. At the end of the pier there is a vantage point that looks out to a small building that I found fascinating. In the past I was never able to get close enough to paint it properly.
In the beginning stage of the painting I used layers of thinned paint applied with a brush to get the light and shadow pattern. Then I used a squeegee to remove some of the original wash in preparation for the lighter reflections on the bottom. I added other thin layers of paint with a palette knife, allowing the paint to drip, creating a semi-controlled chaos. This painting became my favorite plein air. The mixture of abstract and representation, the variety of applications, and the color palette make for an interesting and unique painting.

Figurative
Figurative painting is my favorite subject matter. I am fascinated by the variety of people that I encounter, and find myself staring at them at times. In these moments I am lost in thought, recreating their appearance in my head, imagining how I would paint them.
The first time I saw Theresa I found myself drawn to her eyes behind her glasses. I think the eyes can convey a sense of sadness, passion, love, calmness, awkwardness, and countless other things. Theresa’s glasses seemed to magnify the feeling that I saw in her eyes. Because she had very light flesh tones I decided to use cool natural light during the photoshoot. By doing so, I eliminated harsh shadows and kept a natural feeling to the image.
Jacob Dhein, “Theresa,” 24 x 24 inches, Oil on panel
The painting “Nude in Blue II” was inspired by Ann Gale and Alex Kanevsky. I love going to the Dolby Chadwick Gallery in downtown San Francisco to see their work. This painting was started after I had a photo shoot for my figurative drawing class.
During the photo shoot I asked the model to step off the modeling stage and pose in front of it. I put a strong warm light on one side and allowed a small amount of cool natural light in the window to add diversity to the color temperature relationship. I studied the images in my studio. The background was so simple, splitting the composition in a desired ratio.
For this painting, I set aside three days to make sure I had enough time to finish it while the paint was still wet. This permitted me to blend the transitions and merge the figure into the background. The painting was finished with many different paint applications, giving a sense of vast complexity within the simple composition.
“Nude in Blue II” in progress“Nude in Blue II” in progressJacob Dhein, “Nude in Blue II,” 20 x 20 inches, Oil on panel
While my paintings are diverse in subject matter and sometimes in style, to me they are a collective of my experiences and inspirations during different periods of my life. Rather than writing a diary in words, my diary is in brushstrokes, paint dribbles, and palette knife marks. With my art I hope future generations will see the world as I saw it, meet the people I met, see the places I went, and know what inspired me.

Sexy Giggles
By Tanmaya Bingham
Acrylic, colored pencil, watercolor, and glitter on panel, 2020
60 x 72 in.
$19,200
Available through the Muskegon Museum of Art
Tanmaya Bingham’s dynamic series “Sexy Loud” (2019-20) is about women being their bold, raw, and badass selves. This work, “Sexy Giggles,” the largest in the series, portrays a likeness of the artist with her face pressed to a horse to show their nature as one-in-the-same. According to Bingham, “I was never into horses as a kid, but as an adult I am fascinated by their majestic, enduring, wild, and powerful presence. I also have a fondness for unicorns…hence the horn piercing out of the handbag in this artwork.”
Animal and figure accompany the word “Giggles” across the horse’s mane, which, along with the use of glitter and high-key color, brings a playfulness to the colorful, striking, and confronting composition.
The subjects in this series are strategically placed amidst a background of angular patchwork, acrylic paint, and glitter shapes that allude to a 3D space that converges to accentuate the subjects’ position. Bingham’s unconventional and sometime quirky manner of expressing the raw nature of women is refreshing and captivating.
Bingham has exhibited in solo exhibitions in galleries in Oregon and Santa Fe and in the cities of Melbourne and Sydney in Australia. Her works have appeared in group shows in the United States and internationally in such locales such as Tampa, Florida; Hong Kong, China; Vancouver, Canada; and Los Angeles, California and in publications including ArtSlant, Hi-Fructose, New American Paintings, Surface, Vogue Living AU, Art Collector, and The Sydney Morning Herald. In 2019, she received the 1st Place BBA Artist Prize at BBA Gallery in Berlin, Germany and 2nd Place in The 37th Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition at Bradley University Gallery in Peoria, Illinois.
The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is now presenting “Memories & Inspiration: The Kerry and C. Betty Davis Collection of African American Art.” The extensive exhibition celebrates the passion of an ordinary couple who spent more than 35 years as devoted connoisseurs building a collection of vivid artworks that is both resonant and remarkably personal.
“Memories & Inspiration” will be on view at the Lyman Allyn, the only venue in the Northeast, through August 22, 2021.
Image Credit: Sedrick Huckaby, “She Wore Her Family’s Quilt,”A 2015, oil on canvas. Photograph by Gregory Staley.
The show presents 62 selected works from a body of art amassed by Kerry, a retired mailman, and Betty, a former television news producer, who gladly gave up many ordinary comforts to fill their home with these extraordinary paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures as their principal luxuries.
Their collection includes works by Radcliffe Bailey, Romare Bearden, Beverly Buchanan, Elizabeth Catlett, Ernest T. Crichlow, Sam Gilliam, Loïs Mailou Jones, Jacob Lawrence, Gordon Parks, Alma Thomas, and Charles White. In selecting their work, the couple did not search exclusively for well-known and/or documented artists. Rather, they focused on gathering and preserving a range of artistic approaches to the black image.
“We’re delighted to share this beautiful and eclectic collection with visitors to the Lyman Allyn,” said Director Sam Quigley. “It includes an exciting mix of artists and styles, but the couple’s story and personal connections to the art is equally powerful.”
“Memories & Inspiration: The Kerry and C. Betty Davis Collection of African American Art” was organized and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. It is supported by the Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of the Arts; and an anonymous foundation. For more information, please visit www.lymanallyn.org.

Ben Aronson, "Sun on Leavenworth," 2021, oil on panel, 12 x 12 in.
“While we now move ahead,” says artist Ben Aronson, “beyond a difficult year which forced and challenged us to confront serious threats and loss of many types, we must also remember that we can choose not to allow optimism to be counted a casualty.”
“Sightlines” refers to Aronson’s new group of paintings that celebrate the beauty of the visible world, the light and directions toward which we can choose to direct our view, in balance and apart from the negative. “Sightlines” is on view at Jenkins Johnson Gallery in San Francisco.

Isabel Bishop, "Manhattan Street," 1929, oil on canvas, 10 x 12 1/4 in.
American social realism took shape in the 1920s in the centers of commerce also home to artistic communities, like New York and Chicago. The cultural shift in the United States seen in the art of the social realists bridges the high modernist ideals of Europe and the struggle and very human drama evoked by the Great Depression and the political upheavals of the 1920s and 30s.
Forum Gallery (NYC) is now presenting a group exhibition of American social realism featuring paintings, drawings, and sculpture dating from the first half of the Twentieth Century to today. Artists working in the years between the world wars and well known for their contributions are shown side by side with contemporary American Artists whose work continues the humanist legacy of social realism.
Linden Frederick, “Traveling Salesmen,” 2020, oil on linen, 55 x 55 in.
More from the gallery:
At a time when we again face political, social, and economic turbulence, “Then and Now: American Social Realism” presents paintings by five contemporary American artists whose emotive work shares with the early American social realists the impulse for humanist depiction.
Works in “Then and Now: American Social Realism” reflect and record the Nation’s fragile optimism of this time period. Highly emotional figuration, strong political content, and frank depiction of the common activities of daily life characterize the art of the social realists, demonstrated in this exhibition by masterworks in oil by Raphael Soyer, “In The City Park,” c. 1934, and Jack Levine, “1932 (In Memory of George Grosz),” painted in 1959.
The earliest paintings on view, dating from the 1920s, by Isabel Bishop and James H. Daugherty are joined by evocative works in oil by Philip Evergood, Wood Gaylor, William Gropper, Robert Gwathmey, Joseph Hirsch, Reginald Marsh, and Ben Shahn.
Also on view is an exceptional New York scene in pastel by Everett Shinn, pencil drawings that shine a light on the working class by Aaron Bohrod and Charles White, rare lithographs of industrial and urban subjects by Louis Lozowick, and sculptures imbued with humanism by Chaim Gross, John Storrs, Harry Wickey, and Mahonri Young.
In the art of Steven Assael, Rance Jones and Alan Magee, that fragile optimism of the early Twentieth Century is observed again in contemporary works that raise the unglorified every day to symbols of hope and residual strength in troubled times.
Linden Frederick’s singular hidden narratives pay tribute to working America with respect and empathy; while the inimitable political caricatures and heartfelt renderings in watercolor of immigrant garment workers created by the late David Levine combine the social and the political concerns of American social realist Artists, past and present.
