Gage Opdenbrouw was born in 1977 and grew up in Northern California. He is an award-winning painter, teacher, and woodworker, who, until recently, traveled frequently to paint and to teach.

​

Gage currently teaches live online courses in drawing and painting to national and international artists, in addition to several in-person workshops in various locations each year.

​

When he’s not working, Gage is most often found with his family at the end of a seemingly provisional road in the forested mountains of coastal Northern California among some of the tallest and quietest trees on earth, where the illuminated fog sweeps in from the Pacific. He plays bass and guitar, very poorly and with great enthusiasm.
