At an early age, a favorite activity of his was drawing with chalks on the city streets of Brooklyn. On Saturdays From the age of 16, Handell was at the Art Students League of NY. Studying drawing and painting. From 1961 to 1965, Mr. Handell lived and traveled in Europe. Upon his return to the States and for his One Man exhibit at the famed ACA Gallery NYC, he included his first pastels with his oils. Handell has always painted in his studio and en plein air throughout his lengthy career. To stay fresh at his tender age of 86 (will be 87 in February 2023), for the past 25 years or so he has separated his 2 main painting mediums. He paints smaller works with pastel en plein air, and larger oils practically exclusively in the studio. After living in Woodstock NY 1970-1983 his passion for the woods, the trees, moving water, the mountain streams etc, these various subjects dominated and became foremost in his work. In Late 1983 he moved to Santa Fe, NM where he now still lives, the light and the colors of Northern NM took his breath away, and fast became an added favorite subject of his.

For the past 25 years Handell has held annual one man exhibitions at the Ventana Fine Art gallery in Santa Fe. He has had numerous Museum Exhibits, the last one was at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown OH., 2007, He is part of their permanent collection, along with other museums, and numerous corporate and private collections. He has written 5 table top instructional books on his Oil and Pastel painting and teaching, and has had numerous articles in every magazine which deals with realism. He exhibits in Invitationals and National exhibits regularly. He has received his share of prizes and awards and is regularly asked to jury and judge National Exhibits. He is a master artist to name a few, in the Oil Painters Of America (OPA) and The American Impressionists Society. (AIS)

A well-known and sought-after workshop instructor, his teaching has become a second passion for him.

Margaret Larlham, PSA, IAPS/Eminent Pastelist

Margaret is an Eminent Pastelist of the International Association of Pastel Societies. Interested in both landscape and figurative subjects she regularly paints en plein air and in her garden studio. Her impressionistic style may derive from her former career as dancer, choreographer, theater director at San Diego State University and even earlier at Natal University, Durban, South Africa. In Margaret’s own words: “I am in a landscape and the landscape is in me. When painting what I see I “become” a tree in the landscape. My sound is the breath and rustle of the pastel stick or brush on the surface of paper or canvas.I am interested in investigating more deeply the places familiar to me and also sharpening my responsiveness to the special character of new places I encounter along the way. I love the wild places of America, Africa and Europe. Direct painting is critical. If I don’t go out to paint every day, wherever I am, I get a bit cranky with myself – so I try to avoid that for everyone’s peace of mind! For larger studio paintings I use references of plein air sketches, photographs, and personal experiences.“

Margaret Larlham’s pastel work has garnered national and international attention. These days, with her own studio built in her garden, she is able to paint full time and receive collectors privately to view her latest work. Plein air and direct painting remain critically important, rewarding and transformative to her process. The plein air invitationals in Berlin, Borrego Springs, Sedona and Grand Canyon are enjoyable highlights. Margaret has been a member of the Red Rock Pastel Society since 2020 and her work got noted with various awards during our annual member exhibitions.
