ArtRoster

ArtRoster is a group of Northern California artists who come together to paint under the guidance of artist and teacher Aleksander Balos.

They utilize techniques from the Old Masters’ atelier system of the 18th and 19th centuries (e.g., Jacques-Louis David), as well as more contemporary methods.

The artists engage in a variety of 2-dimensional media from graphite on paper to oil on canvas or wood.

Contributing artists include Aleksander Balos, Leonard Brown, Christine Campos, Diane Chakos, Marga Filip, Lezlie Graebel, Cynthia Henderson, Kim Guthrie, Shery Larson, Sharon LoMonaco, Ariel Morgan, Jenny Purtle, Linda Vivas, Lou Wandro, Michael Wecksler, Adrienne Yee and Barbara Zironi.

These artists live primarily in South Siskiyou County and meet weekly to refine their craft, share inspiration, and study the techniques of the great European artists under Alek Balos’ instruction.

ArtRoster includes veteran artists with extensive art experience, as well as new artists training under Balos’ tutelage.
