N. Totten Mack
I'm a fourth generation native Californian from the Monterey Bay area. Having lived most of my life on the Coast, my earlier work reflects my love of the sea and the diverse beauty of California. Showing artistic abilities as a child, I was exposed to many different creative outlets such as music and painting. I've been inspired by the work and the lives of great American artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins and Richard Deibenkorn. My educational background includes Design and Composition, Color Theory and Painting Techniques. I'm always looking for unusual perspectives with strong emphasis on composition for my subjects. More recently, I have undertaken the study of Abstract Expressionism and although it is more difficult than it seems, I have embraced it. I call it 'The Abstraction of a Realist,' and the journey has been exciting and rewarding. My media of choice are oils, printmaking and pastels.
Accomplishments in the arts community include serving on ... > Read morethe Board of the Pastel Society of the West Coast; serving as one of the City of Auburn's first Arts Commissioners; Originator and Co-founder of Auburn's Old Town Gallery.
My work is currently at the 404 Gallery and the Blue Line Gallery both in Roseville. I have had pieces accepted into several Open Competitions and have won numerous awards. Visit my website at: www.ntottenmack.com
Styles: Commission Work, Mixed Media, Oil, Pastels, Printmaker: silk, wood, litho.
