Artist Spotlight : Paintings by Maureen Sheridan


We are pleased to welcome Maureen Sheridan to Tay River Gallery this month. Maureen Sheridan is a Kingston area artist who paints in a realistic style conveying subjective impressions of a particular, usually very ordinary event or moment in time that has personal meaning for the artist, yet resonates with the viewer. The colour palette in these paintings is sometimes subdued, the handling of light adept, subject matter and composition are arresting and memorable. The paintings are created on large sized canvases that easily envelop the viewer with their intrigue and quiet presence.

Sheridan graduated from Queen's University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and has been exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions since 1989. Her work has won various awards, including a "Best Painting in Show" award at Toronto's Outdoor Art Exhibition. Her works can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe. See the artist page for Maureen on our website for images of her work and biography.
Visit the gallery this month to see recent paintings by Maureen Sheridan, our featured artist in May at Tay River Gallery in Perth. Tay River Gallery is open Friday 12 - 5 and Saturday 12 - 5 p.m during major road construction on Wilson St.
