About Me
|
Grace Kilchenstein lives in Towson Maryland. She is a
retired attorney who found the love of oil painting while practicing full time
law. She began her interest in art while being a wife and mother of four
children. During that time she attended classes in art history at Goucher
College, classes in drawing at the Maryland Institute of Art and classes in
charcoal drawing and pastels at The Schuler School of Fine Art. While
completing her bachelor of art degree and obtaining her Doctor of Jurisprudence
at the University of Baltimore Law School and practicing law her interest in
art was set aside. In 2004, she started studying oil painting on a limited
basis with Matt Zoll who studied under Ann Schuler, Will Wilson and Gerome
Alterholt. Two years later, she retired and began, full time studies at the new
Zoll Studio School of Fine Art in Lutherville Maryland. There she continues to
work with Matt Zoll, studies portraiture and life drawing and painting with
award winning Palden Hamilton and studies landscape painting with accomplished
artist John Brandon Sills who also was a student of the Schuler School of Fine
Art. She has also participated in extended workshops with internationally
recognized artists Jacob Collins, Robert Liberace and Scott Tallman Powers. her
dream is to liken her art to that of Sargent and internationally renowned
living artist Richard Schmid. At the artist's first meeting with Matt Zoll, her
response to his question "what are you interested in" was
"everything". To date, she is painting still life, landscape,
portraiture, figure painting, sports portraiture, and pets. Her desire is to
paint emotionally evocative art no matter what the subject.
