Bobbie Moline-Kramer

Born in Fort Madison, Iowa in 1946, Bobbie Moline-Kramer has followed the creative impulse since childhood. She attended San Diego State where she studied with John Baldessari, and the Art Center before receiving her B.A. in illustration from California State University, Long Beach in 1983 under the mentorship of Dick Oden. After completing her studies, Moline-­Kramer’s talent continued to flourish and receive recognition. She is a member of the California Art Club, Los Angeles Art Association, and the past President of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles.

Moline­-Kramer is a premiere realist painter, combining trompe­l’œil with abstraction. Drawing inspiration from the impressionists and Dutch masters as well as the abstract impressionists, she paints with technique, skill, and a mastery of light and shadow. Her work has continued to evolve as her search for the pure expression of realism has caused her to strip away unnecessary elements, resulting in abstract works whose inspiration lay in realism and exacting authenticity.
