Sarnoff's Featured Artist of the Month - Lynn Taber
Lynn Taber was born in 1943 in Bakersfield, California. She earned both a BAE Degree in Art Education in 1965, and a MFA Degree in Painting in 1968, from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Taber has exhibited her work in numerous museum and gallery shows since the 1960’s. Her work is in the permanent collections of:
Tucson Museum of Art
The Phoenix Museum of Art
The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
The University of Arizona Museum of Art
The Tampa Museum of Art, Tampa FL
Smith College of Art, Northampton, MA
She can also be found in many publications, articles and reviews.
Taber has lived in Tucson, AZ since 1970, and has been enamored with the pageantry of the Arizona Sky. She has worked in pastel searching for that bit of wonder for 17 years.
Her work is currently shown at Etherton Gallery, Tucson, Arizona.
Sarnoff is simply a fabulous art store! Going into Sarnoff is a special creative experience for me because I love to browse each aisle to see what is new.
I am a pastel artist and I buy myriad art materials at Sarnoffs including the pastels I use, and the only paper I use which is Sennelier La Carte pastel card.
Henry Sarnoff is a great guy. He will order anything you need. Henry really cares about artists and their art, and likewise the artists adore Henry.
I feel very grateful to have Sarnoffs here in Tucson.
