Rachael O'Shaughnessy

​     Rachael  O'Shaughnessy is perhaps best known for witnessing thousands of consecutive sunrises over the ocean, and translating them into atmospheric drawings and paintings. O'Shaughnessy has a passion for ocean storms as they meet the timeless and sublime. Awarded Hewnoaks Artist Colony Residencies, Vermont Studio Center Residencies, and others, 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.

     O'Shaughnessy received a BFA with honors in painting from Maine College of Art, and worked with Lois Dodd, Wolf Kahn, Johnnie Winona Ross, and Connie Hayes, in addition to her independent studies in Europe. O'Shaughnessy's numerous residencies include Vermont Studio Center, Hewnoaks, Pace House,  Baie St. Marie in Nova Scotia, and Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. Her work with museums includes teaching and orating for The Currier Museum of Art, The Farnsworth Museum, as well as Historic New England Museums. Her work is shown nationally,and internationally, in both public and private collections.
