By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by contemporary Russian-American landscape painter Lana Ballot (born 1968 in Russia).
 

Lana Ballot is a contemporary realist pastel painter. Born and raised in Russia, Lana discovered her passion for the art at an early age, but it was only after she moved to the United States that she decided to pursue her dream and enrolled in the Studio Arts major at Stony Brook University, NY. Having received a good foundation in drawing and painting in college, Lana continued painting while working as a graphic designer. Lana is now a full-time artist and pastel painting instructor. She is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America.

Long Island landscape has always been Lana's primary source of inspiration for both plein air and studio work. She credits the time she spent painting outdoors for developing a better understanding of the relationship between light, color and atmosphere, so important for a landscape painter. Working primarily in pastels, Lana is interested in painterly application of this medium.

Lana has exhibited her work in numerous juried local and national exhibitions. In 2015, her work received an Honorable Mention in the 17th Annual Pastel 100 Competition held by Pastel Journal. In 2016, her painting “Breaking Wave” won The Yang Family Award at the Pastel Society of America’s annual exhibition: Enduring Brilliance.

               ARTIST'S STATEMENT

 

I am trying to capture the beauty of nature whether it's a magnificent display of colors in the sunset sky or a quiet winter scene.

I am happy to live on Long Island, NY where I can paint my favorite subjects - ocean, harbors, beaches and anything that provides me with inspiration.”
