Joshua Langstaff
Joshua Langstaff studied traditional painting techniques with Juliette Aristides in her acclaimed Classical Atelier at the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle.
He has studied with other master representational painters including Anthony Ryder, Michael Grimaldi and Steven Assael. He was also a member of Jacob Collins’ Hudson River Fellowship for its first two years.
In 2009, Joshua was named one of “21 Under 31, Artists to Collect Now” by Southwest Art Magazine. His work has been featured in The Artist’s Magazine and in several art instructional books including: Lessons in Classical Drawing: Essential Techniques from Inside the Atelier by his former teacher Juliette Aristides.
Langstaff is a two-time recipient of the Stacey Foundation Grant for representational artists. His work has been selected as a finalist in the Art Renewal Center Salon multiple times. In addition to receiving many portrait commissions, his work has been shown at galleries throughout the United States and abroad.
A native of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Joshua lived in Maine for many years, where he taught at Sanctuary Arts in Eliot and in Portland for the Maine College of Art Continuing Studies department. Joshua and his family left in 2015 for an opportunity to live in Europe, but they are happy to be returning to Maine in the summer of 2021. When not painting or teaching, Joshua enjoys hiking and exploring the coast and mountains of his adopted home with his wife Anna, their young son, and their dog Copley.
