     June Kellogg lives in Brooklin, Maine and paints in a studio next to her home. She studied art and art education at Byam Shaw Art College in London, England and at the State University of New York at New Paltz. She received her MFA in painting from Marywood University in Pennsylvania.


While living in Pennsylvania, she had solo exhibitions at the Neglia Gallery, at Marywood University, and at Kings College. During this time, she supported herself by teaching art classes to children and adults in her painting studio.

           After moving back to Maine, she turned an old wood working shop next to her home into a summer studio and converted a finished room in her basement into a winter studio. She continued to teach art, first in public schools, then privately, and now to college students.

               Her latest paintings are inspired by the natural landscape. They are acrylic on canvas and created in an improvistional way where the composition and surface dictate how she will proceed.

     June's  other paintings are semi-abstract depictions of artists in the act of creating. She paints with acrylics and encaustics. Encaustics are pigments that are combined with beeswax and melted on a heated palette before being brushed onto a painting. June’s unique combinations of lush encaustic surfaces with acrylic depictions of artists and musicians create exciting and provocative finished diptychs.
