Vanessa Rothe

Artwork submitted for bid 
at our September 6, 2009 auction:

"Afternoon Canal"
12x16" Oil on Linen
Gallery Price: $1,100

Once a successful Graphic Designer/Art Director working with Disney Press, Walter Foster and Sony, Vanessa has taken to a real color palette as she paints in Oils. Her subjects include the pleasing landscapes of France and Tuscany, the allure of historic cities such as Paris and Venice as well as classic seascapes and canyons locally in Laguna Beach,California.

Influenced by representational art, the French Impressionists, and by American artists such as Sargent and Chase, Vanessa takes the essence of a subject and captures its charm on canvas with the use of color, shadows, and light. The natural simplicity of her work, her energetic brush strokes and pleasing color combinations form a realist yet slightly impressionistic style which her collectors admire.

In addition to honoring in Business, art and French Lit at USD, Vanessa attended the Laguna College of Art and Design to further her painting studies, and has been fortunate to learn directly from professional painters. She is an exhibiting member of the American Impressionist Society and the California Art Club. Vanessa is honored to be the Southern California Editor of the Nationally acclaimed art collector magazine FINE ART CONNOISSEUR.
