Holly Hope Banks – Onions, a new still life painting by Holly.

Holly was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1957. She received her Bachelor's of Art degree in 1981 at the University of Toledo and was a registered copyist at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. for 5 years. Holly continued her classical training at the Atelier of Plein-air Studies for 4 years and then furthered her studies by extensive travels in Europe.

Steve Armes – We are pleased to welcome Steve Armes to the gallery.

Steve began his formal study of art in college. Disillusioned by the trend to promote avant-garde art, he sought out more traditional training. He found a teacher at San Jose State University who went against the grain and taught the fundamentals of traditional realist art as practiced for four centuries.

Steve began his study with Maynard Dixon Stewart, who was trained by Frank Vincent DuMond, who in turn had studied in Paris in the nineteenth century and was a friend of Whistler, Sargent and William Merritt Chase. From Stewart, Armes learned the tenants of academic painting and derived a love for painting the landscape.
 

Benjamin Wu – We are pleased to announce Benjamin Wu is joining the gallery.

Born in 1961, Benjamin Wu studied art at the Guangzhou Fine Art Institute in China from 1978 to 1985. After graduating from the oil painting department, he was offered a teaching position at the Guanhzhou Fine Art institute.

While teaching at the institute he decided to move to the United States. In 1991, he received his MFA degreee from Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Benjamin's exquisite paintings have garnered awards in national and international exhibitions.

Benjamin has a number of excellent works available. Please contact the gallery for details.
