As a child, Silvia Rutledge was continually painting and drawing with her mother. She grew up in a small Canadian beach town on Lake Huron. Silvia decided to dedicate her talents to painting full time. The surrounding wildlife and Canadian wilderness was spectacularly gorgeous. To improve her artwork, she decided join a serious art school and produced oil and pen and ink pieces which she sold on location while living abroad in Paris, Germany, Greece and Italy. Silvia subsequently moved to California and has been in love with the light and the landscape ever since. She studied Studio Arts at Michigan Art Institute, Detroit, Michigan, and at Art Academy University, San Francisco CA.
Her outstanding pieces of art include 'Alpine Vistas' of Sierra Nevadas, 'Wine county Chefs', 'Landscapes of California’, 'Bavarian Alps and Villages', 'San Francisco City Life', Portraits of wine country chefs, 'Island Fever' Santorini Greece', to name just a few.

That love is still as strong as ever. She spent every moment he could to observe the intricacies of nature’s form and light.
