DAILY ART QUOTE!

“What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.” Eugene Delacroix

Maureen is a Cape Ann oil painter and works in a traditional representational style with intricate brushwork and color application. Intrigued by light, shadow and form, she finds her inspiration in the natural, omnipresent beauty of New England that is often overlooked or taken for granted. With thoughtful observation, Maureen captures the true essence of her surroundings with depth and detail, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary, evoking memories of a past time and places, thus allowing the viewer to experience a sense of connection and intimacy with her work. Her paintings feature rural landscapes, seascapes and still life.

Her work is in private collections throughout the United States and Canada.
