Gardner, Whitney
Whitney Gardner is an oil painter born and based in Southern California. With a focus in painting landscapes about the Southwest, she seeks to expand the barriers of western art to the deserts of the far west in which she calls home. Residing in the Mojave desert for over a decade, a fascination with the rugged scenery has led her into an artful study of this region. From plein air to studio-rendered compositions, her paintings are an ode to the remarkable facets of the desert.
