Lani Vlaanderen
Oils
"Whether the subject be a sparrow or a grand sunset, it is the play of light that excites me to put brush to canvas. I am a native of Colorado and have lived most of my life in a rural setting. It is natural for me to paint those subjects which are so familiar, however I also enjoy painting figures and still lifes. I strive to reveal the simple beauty of a single moment in time."
Lani studied with Kim English at the Art Students' League for four years, and painted with Richard Schmid for six years at the Loveland Academy of Fine Art. She has taught several workshops and classes. Her work has traveled much farther than she has as it hangs in colllections in Australia, China, Belgium and from Canada to Mexico. They keep company with Kip Forbes, Frank and Kathy Lee Gifford, Greg and Marcie Gumbel and even Richard Schmid!
