Landscape Interpretations By Greg Kondos And Mya Louw At Blue Line Arts

Blue Line Arts is proud to present two distinguished artists, Gregory Kondos and Mya Louw, in the Coker Family Gallery.

Gregory Kondos is one of California’s most prominent artists, and is one of the most respected landscape painters in the United States. His landscapes of Yosemite, the Sacramento River Delta, the coast line with its beaches and rocks, the Southwest, Aix en Provence, France and the islands of Greece, his parents’ home land, are known nation-wide.

Kondos has been an art professor for 30 years, and the art gallery at Sacramento City College is named after him. Over the course of his life, he has won many awards including a Dillard Collection prize, Lifetime Achievement award at the Florence Biennale, and being elected into the National Academy of Art, New York.

Oil and Pastel painter, Mya Louw, was born in Rotterdam, Holland.  She has lived, studied and worked in South Africa, Europe and the United States. Her formal, classical art training began at thirteen after being overawed by the mammoth work of Rembrandt’s "Nightwatch.”  Graduate studies, after obtaining a Fine Arts degree with Honors in Painting at Rhodes University in South Africa, were done at Polytechnics and the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.  Her quest for an ‘ultimate painting’ continues with research and studies both locally and abroad.
