Liane Whittum Art Demo - Sunday, April 23, 2023 12pm to 2pm

Join Bryan Memorial Gallery on April 23 from 12-2pm as we welcome artist Liane Whittum to the Gallery. Liane will provide attendees the chance to see how she creates her realistic works of art, and answer any questions people may have. 

Liane’s work focuses on pastoral, industrial, and wild landscapes; also focusing heavily on still life work. She transitions between still life, landscape and plein air work, done primarily in oil paint in a classical realism style. Liane often goes out to gather information on site and paints plein-air when composing landscape paintings, and then finish her paintings in her studio, which after consideration may be complete as a loose work, or become a more involved work of higher refinement. 
Liane Whittum is a professional artist with over 27 years of experience painting with oils.  Liane has a BA in Studio Art from New England College with a concentration in painting. She works out of her home-based studio in Hill NH where she focuses primarily on landscapes and still life in a style of traditional realism.  More recently she has been devoting a large amount of time to painting “en plein air”. She has been in many National and International shows and competitions where she has won numerous awards including;
Best Floral from the International Guild of Realism, Best Landscape from the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, The Southwest Art Magazine award from American Women Artists, the Audubon Artists Inc. Award from The Salmagundi Club in NYC, and most recently a Staff Award from the 16th Annual Art Renewal Center Salon.
Liane is a member of The National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, Oil painters of America, and a Signature member of American Women Artists. 

This event will be held in the East Gallery, and is free and open to the public. Space is limited, and seating is on a first come basis. Registration is not required.

The demonstration is part of Bryan Gallery's annual educational Cabin Fever Series.
