My name is Stan Gabelein {pronounced
Gabe-el-ine}, I’m an artist and
an outdoorsman. I went to college
at Western Washington U. in Bellingham,
Washington, majoring in art. Truth
be told I didn't get much out of
it and though I was always interested
in art, didn't do much with my education
for quite some time. I had memorized
a bunch of art history and knew
everyone's commentary and opinions,
but what I wanted to know was simply
how to REALLY paint. Then I happened
to meet a lady named Libby Berry,
who could teach me what I wanted
to know about painting and color.
I was a very willing student. I
learned more from her in 8 weeks
than college had taught me in 4
years.
I painted from my experiences in
the outdoors, beautiful places I’ve
been, including Alaska, Wyoming,
British Columbia, Montana and of
course my beautiful home, Washington
State. (I also visited Niagara Falls
while on a fishing trip in Ontario,
Canada and later painted that).
I painted wildlife, people, landscapes,
etc. It was all so exciting to be
able to create all these things
on canvas.
Now in the last couple years I've
been more productive than ever before.
The quality is probably more consistent
and my style has changed somewhat.
I've been selected as featured artist
at several galleries and have shown
my art at parties and openings across
the Puget Sound region. I'm currently
seeking additional venues for my
art (my wife and I are running out
of wall space!).
I
am currently showing at SEMANTICS
Gallery in downtown Edmonds. Also I'm
showing at Raven
Rocks Gallery & Gifts in
Greenback and in
Absolute Chiropractic and Wellness
Center in Seattle.
Great
art never goes out of style. Purchasing
original art will give one a lifetime
of viewing pleasure and enjoyment.
Longer term, the value of quality
art never diminishes. It's impervious
to the fluctuations of the economy
and retains its worth for generations
to come. I firmly believe that quality
art is one of the best investments
you can make.
I hope you enjoy my art.
Sincerely,
Stan Gabelein
