STEPHANIE R. ABRAHAMS

Stephanie Abrahams is a fine art painter living in lovely Laguna Beach, California. Although she was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and is a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, she has embraced the year-round outdoor life in California by painting in the plein-air painting process at various locations throughout southern California. Working mostly by commission, she paints seascapes, landscapes, cityscapes, and the figure. The paintings can be created from a photo reference or on-site at the location of preference.

A sample of what you will see on the website are the plein-air seascapes and landscapes which are painted in an impasto style that is the result of using the palette knife. Another series of paintings include landscapes and city views of european vacation spots. In addition, paintings from an exhibition called "Americana" depict figures, mostly of women, from the '30's through the '80's enjoying the good life. These figures are sketched-out and painted in vintage hues of oils and acrylics. Brian Wisely's fitness studio "The Well" in Boat Canyon will continue to have a few of my plein-air seascapes of local spots on display. And check out my large seascape of Crescent Bay at the "All Mixed-Up" show at Wells Fargo on Ocean Avenue in Laguna Beach throughout the summer until Sepember 7th, 2010. youtube video of me painting a seascape on site - coming soon!
