Tina Ingraham was born in Kenton, Ohio in 1947. She received her MFA from Brooklyn College of CUNY in 1996 and Bachelor of Science in Design at the University of Cincinnati, College of DAAP in 1970. She paints in the tradition of The Cape Cod School of Art, established in 1899 by Charles Webster Hawthorne, 1872-1930. Largely influenced by her study with Lennart Anderson, 1928-2015, a second generation student of Hawthorne’s, her work matured with three years of painting in Perugia, Italy from 1999-2003. She traveled Europe studying Old Master works, mosaics, and contemporary painters that enriched her palette and informed her continued research of historical techniques and painting surfaces. She is a recipient of many awards, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, The Milton and Sally Avery Foundation, grants from The Maine Commission for the Arts and Pollock Krasner Foundations, and residency fellowships from MacDowell Colony, Dorland Mountain Art Colony and The Robert M. MacNamara Foundation. Academic teaching includes The International School of Painting Drawing and Sculpture, Bowdoin College, Hyde School, Brooklyn College and Stephens College. Among the many seated portraits Ingraham has painted are the Myron Edward Ullman III portrait collection of thirteen paintings, and the portrait of Joshua Chamberlain commissioned by Bowdoin College. Down East Book publications include reproductions of Ingraham’s Harbor Fish Market painting “Early Snow” in Carl Little’s and David Little’s Paintings of Portland, and “Portland Pier at Low Tide” in Paintings of Maine, A New Collection by Carl Little.
