Visit studio of Wo Schiffman.

As the daughter of NASA Scientists, Wo's education explored not only art but questions in Physics and Philosophy. She holds a  BA in Philosophy (summa cum laude) JCU, with concentrated atelier art study in Scandinavia and the US including the Art Students League of NY, Cleveland Institute of Art, and SF State University.  Wo's inspiration is drawn from sailing and land travel in natural environments across six continents. She is a third generation female painter living in Northern California.

"My art practice is inspired by land and sea explorations  from the Arctic Circle to the Great Barrier Reef. Blue water sailing and hiking across various landscapes has provided the palette and motivation to expand  and abstract these vistas.  As an oil, acrylic and casein painter, I work with natural ground pigments on wood, canvas and washi paper. My work focuses on presenting colors, textures and unusual perspectives in abstract land & seascapes."
