VICTORIA TEMPLETON

  As a native Californian from San Francisco, Victoria absorbed forms of creative art, always drawing and painting in some form since childhood. She majored in Theater Arts at Loyola Marymount. For over twenty years she was in retail management in the designer fashion industry. Still, she remained drawn to designers and their creative process. She left the industry to pursue fine art. Roger Armstrong, a master California painter and school founder at the Laguna College of Art and Design, took her in as a protégé. From him, she learned to risk failure. “Its only paint and paper” he told her. She studied and worked for him for seven years. Upon his death, the Irvine Fine Art Center asked Victoria to continue his class. Another passion, teaching, emerged. She expanded her weekly classes to the Laguna Beach Susi Q Center and conducted workshops. Her approach, like her mentor, encourages students to lose fear, take risks and view painting as a process. When she moved to Cape Cod in 2015, She put teaching aside and focused on her own artwork. She has studio space at The Old Schoolhouse in Barnstable Village. She is a continuous participant CCAC plein air group and contributed to their second 2019 edition of Plein Air Painting on Cape Cod. She participated in Cape Cod shows and received recognition.

ROBIN WESSMAN

As a contemporary realist painter, I paint a variety of subjects that inspire me and have potential for a shared experience with viewers.  Regardless of the subject, I believe that the true measure of a painting’s value is whether the viewer has an immediate and intuitive connection on some level when they see it. That’s the challenge!  This is the path I chose many years ago and I am mindful of how difficult and elusive that can be, yet I love to paint and work every day to achieve that goal. In the last few years my work has centered around still life painting, however I am also inspired by my surroundings and paint the natural beauty of the New England coastline where I live.  In addition, I spend a considerable amount of time on figurative painting and portraits.  The one constant in all my work is the exploration of light and how it affects form and creates atmosphere.  My paintings are inspired by what I see and how I feel about the world around me.
