Lynn Gertenbach
March
2, 2010 Demo Artist
Lynn Gertenbach's strong figurative work in serene and pastorial
settings has long been her signature style. She graduated from the
Colorado Institute of Art and then studied with the famed Russian painter Sergei Bongart, as well as Arul Raj in India and Bernard Dunstan in England.
Born in Racine, Wisconsin, Lynn studied at the Art Center Los Angeles,
UCLA, and graduated from Colorado Institute Of Art in Denver. Upon
completing her formal education she traveled extensively in the Middle East,
India, China, Japan, Peru and Guatemala, painting landscapes and indigenous
people as she explored the various regions of each country. She was invited
by the Instituto Cultural Norteamericano to have a one-woman show of her
work in Peru, as well as in India and Switzerland. Though travel remains an
essential inspiration for her work, Lynn resides in and does most of her
plein air painting in California.
Lynn is one of only 4 artists invited to the prestigious California
Club's Spring 2002 show, which will include purchase of one of her major new
works for the Club's permanent collection. Lynn has completed over 20
one-woman shows, touring 9 cities in Japan. Each exhibition consisted of
over 50 works, the culmination of her travels to Provence, Tuscany, Venice,
Amalfi Coast, Giverny and California.
Lynn has received more than 30 gold medals from various California
Art organizations, as well as the Life Achievement Award (Hall Of Fame
Inductee) from the Colorado Art Institute. She has been a guest artist in
the Artists Of America exhibitions in Denver. Her paintings and portraits
