Rachael O'Shaughnessy
Rachael O'Shaughnessy is perhaps best known for witnessing this last decade of consecutive sunrises over the ocean, and translating them into palpable atmospheric paintings.The artist has a passion for the coastline as it meets the timeless and sublime. With the weather and emotive color on her brush, she explores the poetry of their movement.
Rachael O'Shaughnessy incorporates her museum instruction into her own visceral experience of nature. Bob Keyes of The Portland Press Herald has referred to her as the“ Sea Dancer”, and in recent years, sublime works by J.M. W. Turner, Albert Pinkham Ryder, and Mark Rothko cue in her passion for color and light as they meet the New England coastline.
