Lorenzo Chavez Pastel Workshop

Lorenzo Chavez is one of the leading pastel artists in the nation today. His work has been featured in many magazines such as Southwest Art, Artists of the West, The Artist's Magazine and Pastel Journal, and books such as Pure Color: The Best of Pastel (North Light Books, 2006), Plein Air New Mexico (Richeson, 2006), and Landscapes of Colorado (Fresco Fine Art Publications, 2007). His work is also represented in galleries in across the United States and is included in many private and corporate collections, both nationally and internationally. This past fall, we were very fortunate to have him come to Hawaii to teach a plein air workshop. Click here to read the review of the workshop by Gregory Pai, one of the workshop participants.
