July 2025 Featured Artist Member: Meisha Grichuhin

July 3, 2025 by Bonnie Langner

LPAPA Featured Artist for July 2025 Meisha Grichuhin

LPAPA Featured Member for July 2025 Meisha Grichuhin

July 2025 Featured Artist : Meisha Grichuhin of Oceanside, California

Meisha Grichuhin was born in San Jose, California in 1987, studying painting at the Academy of Art University and graduating with the honor of Valedictorian. Meisha describes her style as “impressionistic realism,” and strives to capture the light and essence of a subject while retaining the artist’s viewpoint and evidence of the artist’s hand. She loves painting “en plein air” especially, using all five senses to absorb the landscape. This immersion allows her to truly study her subject and bask in the radiance of nature. Meisha lives with her husband and their four cats in Southern California where the temperate climate allows for year round outdoor painting.

April 2025 Featured Signature Artist: Fernando Micheli

March 31, 2025 by Bonnie Langner

April 2025 Featured Signature Artist: Fernando Micheli

LPAPA Featured Signature Artist Fernando Micheli

April 2025 Featured Signature Artist : Fernando Micheli of Laguna Beach, California

Born in the rural town of Fiano, near Lucca, Italy. Fernando immigrated and was raised in San Francisco, CA. With a short hiatus studying and traveling in Northern Italy in his late teens, Fernando returned home to the Bay Area to obtain his B.A. at U.C. Berkeley, College of Environmental Design and practiced Landscape Architecture and Urban Design for 37 years,
working on many prominent projects such as the Getty Museum, USC campus and Playa Vista.
After retirement in 2014, wanting to selfishly pursue the notion of creating for his own fulfillment and joy, he pursued his desire to become a painter and artist. He focuses on the immediacy of Plein Air painting and Representational art, capturing the beauty around him, but endlessly curious of the next challenge that will propel his desire to see and understand the world in a more intense way.
