The Black and Yellow Gallery in association with the Waldorf Hotel is pleased to host Sarah Holtom as a portrait artist in residence for the month of May.

She will be painting 50 portraits in 15 days.

Sarah Holtom is an accomplished plein air painter. "100 Portraits of Calgary Artists" was completed after her graduating year from the Alberta College of Art and Design with funding from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and subsequently added to the Glenbow Museum's permanent collection. Since then she has spent time in both New York City and small town Saskatchewan, where she successfully co-ran the "National Gallery of Saskatchewan" for two years, contributed work to several nationally touring shows and instructed art lessons out of the Godfrey Dean Gallery. It was during this time that she created and stared in a TV show airing on Access 7 called "The Painting from Life with Sarah Holtom Show!"; graciously funded by the Saskatchewan Arts Board. Holtom has recently moved to Vancouver, she continues to teach at Collage Collage and plein air paint from her new '92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon/Studio.
