“Plein air painting in the Bay Area captured my interest upon my very first classes with Anne Marie Glover and her mother, the late great landscape painter, Pam Glover. They introduced me not only to the joy of painting outdoors, but the rich legacy of East Bay painters such as The Outsiders, Lundy and Louis Siegriest and the Society of Six. With every painting, I try to find that sweet spot where the beauty of the scene meets the lush dimensional qualities of the oil paint itself.” –Maria SantoStefano
