Artist Spotlight: Roma Turoff 
From an early age, Roma Turoff has had a passion for painting and drawing. Her initial foray into the artistic world began with water colors, but she later switched to oils and pastels. While she enjoys both of these mediums, the body of her work is in oils. Leaning toward impressionism, Roma uses vivid colors to create florals and landscapes. While residing in Arizona from 1996-2005, Roma studied under various local artists, and it was there that she developed a fascination with impressionism. An El Dorado Hills, California resident since 2005, she had studied under internationally known impressionist, Anita Wolff, for many years. She has had the benefit of advancing the use of palette knife at the School of Light and Color under Susan Sarback. Roma also continues to advance her skills through attendance at workshops and art lessons with notable artists Charles Muench, Quiang Huang, Derek Penix, Ned Mueller and Joyce Martin. Inspired by the lush El Dorado Hills surroundings and her extensive travel, Roma’s canvases are her vehicle for sharing the world’s beauty. Her artwork has been displayed and purchased at many northern California locations.
