Inside Out -Oils on
Canvas - 23 ¾ x 20 inches Image:
This painting is all about color, pattern, and
displaced and unexpected placement of some of the images. When I come
across something “out of place”, I see it more completely. However,
it’s easy to walk right by objects, people, animals, etc. that are
where they’ve always been, without seeing them.
Creating the painting, “Inside Out” was a little bit challenging, and a
lot of fun. I “threw the dice” so to speak, and took my chances! Grace Bishko March 2009

Bishko. The oil on canvas or linen is signed the artist. If unframed but

About Grace Bishko:
Grace lives in Central Oregon, hikes the trails,
and paints her memories of what she has seen. Never shy in the use of
intense color and with a slight surreal twist of an everyday image, Grace
Bishko’s art is an expression of her life – often larger than life. A serious
and honest painter, she paints from her heart and of her memories and
experiences. Her imagery contains an ever so slight edge to grab and retain the
viewer’s attention, while at the same time satisfying their deep emotions and
enjoyment. High Desert Gallery is truly honored to represent Grace Bishko.
A nationally and internationally known artist, Grace Bishko is honored that her
paintings are appreciated and understood across a wide multicultural expanse. In
the 1970’s she decided to stop painting from "life," and find a personal
vocabulary that would allow her to paint through her emotions, because, she says
"I deeply wished to speak through my art." Winning all possible awards at the
Cleveland Institute of Art, she went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts
degree from Rutgers, The State University, Mason Gross School of the Arts.
Through education, and experimentation, her creative endeavors evolved in many
stages. The results of this adventure are embedded in the artwork she is
involved in today. High Desert Fine Art and High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing
of Central Oregon are proud to represent Grace Bishko.
