Virgia West
Virgia West has been doing art all of her life. While living in Eureka, California she had her own teaching studio/store with many instructors working with her. This afforded her the opportunity to learn many different mediums. Many well-known artists came to her studio, The Students Gallery, as guest instructors. This was a great learning experience for her as well as the students.
Virgia accepts commission work, painting from your photographs. She is now living with her husband, and fellow artist, Bob West in Hillsboro, Oregon and still teaching art classes in her home studio, Rainbow Arts.
Bob West
Robert West has been painting in oils for most of his adult life. By trade, he is a helicopter and airplane technician as well as a pilot. This explains his love of painting aviation art. Bob also has a love for the ocean and sailboats that shows in his seascape paintings.
Bob creates original work in oil on canvas. He tries to capture his feelings about the scene he is painting, and in doing so, tell a story that the viewer will respond to. Bob accepts commission work, painting from your photographs.
He met his wife, and fellow artist Virgia, while pursuing his art in California. They now reside in Oregon with their two cats.
