About the Artist :: Eugene Quinn
In the tradition of the tonalists, the luminists, and the artist-travelers of the Victorian age, Eugene’s work conveys truth and beauty found in the natural world. He paints outdoors in all seasons rendering particular places at a particular moment, be they grand or simple, in lands far away or on the street where he lives, moved by experiences foreign and familiar.
Eugene earned degrees in Fine Art and Art History at Providence College all the while pursuing his interests in science and architecture. Then after years of part time study at The Art Students League and The New York School of Visual Arts, he learned essential technical training in traditional painting from John Osborne at The Ridgewood Art Institute.
He spends the summer months in Maine on the road painting and showing his work. When he isn’t traveling with his easel he is on Cape Ann, a coastal community of fisherman and creative types with a great tradition of American oil painters.
