Manon Sander

During years spent studying oil painting under the tutelage of nationally known oil painters, Manon developed her own distinct style and considers herself a contemporary impressionist.

Even though Florida is a cornucopia of inspiration for this transplant from Germany, more important than the subject matter itself is Manon’s goal to capture the effects of light on a subject and the feeling it evokes, expressing it through interesting patterns, luminous color, and juicy brush strokes.

Manon participates in plein air competitions and juried shows such as by the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society and American Impressionist Society. Manon’s works have been included in Modern Impressionist Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur, and Plein Air Magazine. She is a sought-after painting instructor teaching classes as well as national and international painting workshops to a loyal following of students and has been an invited faculty member of Plein Air South many times. Manon’s work is represented by the Village Gallery in Lahaina, Maui, Lost Art Gallery in St. Augustine, Gallery On Park in Winter Park, and High Tide Studio and Gallery in Naples, FL.
