LORENZO CHAVEZ at PITZER'S Fine Arts

Lorenzo Chavez was born in New Mexico, where the striking landscapes, varied cultures and colorful history helped him develop an appreciation for art at an early age. He studied at the Colorado Institute of Art and the Art Students League of Denver. Intensive private study of the Impressionists and 19th century American and Russian painters have made him aware of the wonderful possibilities and importance of painting from life.
Lorenzo exhibits in national invitational exhibitions across the country, including the Pastel Society of America, C.M. Russell Museum, Gilcrease Museum, Plein Air Painters of America, and many more. Lorenzo was invited to exhibit 7 pastels at the 2010 summer Exhibition for the Society of Pastelists in France. Lorenzo’s work is featured in many prominent galleries and magazines, including Art of the West, Southwest Art, Pastel Journal, Art-Talk, and American Artist. He was cover artist for The Artist’s Magazine. Lorenzo’s paintings are included in four books, Pure Color; The Best of Pastel and Art Journey America both published by North light Books and The Plein Air Year published by Jack Richeson Books and Colorado Landscapes.
