Pam Glover is recognized as one of the major plein-air landscape painters in California and an important mentor to many Northern California painters. Influenced by early years in foreign lands, Glover is best known as a plein-air painter in the Colorist tradition. Her work is notable for bold, rapid brushwork and the use of oil paint using brilliant pigments. She continues in the tradition of the Society of Six, who broke new ground in the 1920s with their bright, Fauvist paintings of local East Bay scenes.
Glover has influenced hundreds of students through her outdoor classes taught for the past 25 years through the Orinda Community Center. A lasting tribute to Pam is the self-described Glover Group former students who have gained recognition in their own right and who carry on the Colorist tradition.
In the 1990s, Glover, along with six other painters, formed the Outsiders seven
painters who derive their inspiration from the Six and the Bay Area Figurative School.
Now in her 80s, Glover continues to teach weekly painting classes and to paint en plein air in and around Northern California.
Jerrold Turner is one of the Bay Area's prominent Plein Air painters and a founding member of the Outsiders, a group of plein air painters whose colorful, Fauvist style relates back to such groups as the Society of Six, the Fauves and other colorist schools.
Jerrold is a structural engineer, graduated from UC Berkeley with BS and MS degrees in engineering. He is primarily self-taught in art and painted with Lundy Siegriest and Terry St. John. His early influences were Daubigny, Matisse, William Keith, Seldon Gile and Lundy Siegriest.
He is very influential in the arts of the San Francisco Bay Area. Jerrold teaches advanced plein air painting privately as well as in workshops in Benicia and Walnut Creek, CA, and in Virginia City, NV. He also has curated several exhibits for Arts Benicia Center Gallery. Jerrold has exhibited extensively in solo and group shows and his art work is in collections throughout the United States.
The Outsiders is a group of eight painters, each with their own distinctive style. They formed in the 90's and have had numerous successful shows in Bay Area venues.
Sarah Beserra is a plein-air art historian, juror; and is highly respected in the local art community.
