 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.
 Paul S. Brown – We are excited about several
new works from Paul. As many of you know that have followed him over
the years, Paul's work has transformed from mature beyond his years
to what I can only describe as just simply amazing.
