Larraine Seiden

Larraine Seiden has an M.S. in Art and Design Education from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and a B.A. with a Studio Art Concentration from California State University of the East Bay (Hayward). She has taught art at the K-12 level and to adults over the past fifteen years. Most recently, Larraine has had the pleasure of working with Betty Edwards, author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, and her son, master teacher Brian Bomeisler. Larraine is now one of very few certified to teach the method by Betty Edwards. Besides teaching, Larraine has an active studio practice in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is inspired by both the human body and cities, and her work projects emotional terrain onto the constructed world. She use the thick physicality of encaustic paint to explore an experience of inner and external place. Larraine regularly exhibits her work in the Bay Area and throughout the United States.
