Southern Oregon Artists Resource

In 1977 I earned my degree in Art History. When I retired from my career in another field I began to paint, later selling my work successfully in Portland and Manzanita, OR, where I was a member of the Nehalem Bay Art League. Since moving to Jacksonville, I enjoy creating paintings of local landmarks and floral still lifes.

Expressive, impressionistic and colorful, Dianne's work was awarded First Place at Expressions West 2010, a juried exhibit of artists from the Western US, at the Coos Art  Museum in Coos Bay, OR. Specializing in figurative oil painting from photographs, she also enjoys experimenting with many mediums and subjects, including monotype prints, sculpture, and installation art.

I am the resident artist and Chef/Co-Owner of Maclevin’s Restaurant in J’ville for the past 11 years. I've been at the easel for the last 40 years, painting abstracts in prismatic color exclusively with Windsor Newton oils. My surrealistic style employs various construction mediums to elevate images 3-dimensionally from the canvas.

Growing up a third generation artist, Maranda came to love the arts at a very young age. Pursuing art throughout high school, Maranda won best in state in the Junior Federal Duck Stamp three consecutive years. After graduating, she discovered oils and figures and hasn't looked back!

Leah exhibits her abstract and portraiture work nationally and internationally and has been commissioned for over 400 paintings over the past 15 years. Her studio is outside Jacksonville where she teaches painting, drawing, art marketing and making natural earth paints.

Raised in South Central Alaska, Livvy came to know her craft through an intimate familiarity with her natural surroundings. A member of New York’s prestigious Society of Animal Artists, in 1998 she was chosen as one of six American “wildlife painters to watch” by InformArt magazine and won an Award of Merit in the Grand National Celebration of Western Art in San Francisco. She appears in the book, Strokes of Genius - The Best of Drawing.

With a history in fashion design, Silvia Trujillo has 20 years experience in fine art study, painting, and teaching.  She is a master colorist; emphasizing color harmony, and works in impressionist, realist, and abstract styles. "My goal is to consistently produce paintings that are uniquely original and that express my love of nature."
