Artist – Stefan Pastuhov

Stefan Pastuhov grew up in Harvard, Massachusetts. He graduated from the American School in Paris and returned to the U.S., where he received his BFA from Tufts University and the Boston School Museum School of Fine Arts. Stefan moved to Maine in 1984.

Stefan is a plein-air painter who loves the outdoors and paints on location year-round. It’s the beauty of changing light and seasons that appeal to him. He counts among his strongest influences: John Singer Sargent, Emile Gruppe, Edgar Paine, and Aldro T. Hibbard. He is a founding member of the plein-air painters of New England.

His work has been featured on the covers of the L. L. Bean catalogues, and he has been in several solo and group shows. Stefan’s art is shown at Blue Hill Bay Gallery in Blue Hill Maine, Bayview Gallery in Brunswick Maine and the Berkeley Gallery in Warrenton Virginia. This 2026 Small Point Show will include work from his travels as well as Small Point scenes.

This will be Stefan’s second exhibit at the Club. He and his wife, Cici, are Club members.
