June Kellogg

     June Kellogg lives in Brooklin, Maine and paints in a studio next to her home. She studied art and art education at Byam Shaw School of Art 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.

 
     June's summer studio is an old wood working shop next to her home and her winter studio is a finished room in the basement. She taught art for many years in the Maine public schools, privately to adults, and as an adjunct art professor for UMA. Now retired from teaching, she has found the joy of having the time to focus on her painting full time. 

 
      June's paintings have evolved over the years from realism to semi-abstraction to abstraction and now to a combination of realism and abstraction. Her work focuses on color, rhythm and texture, and she currently uses a technique that incorporates ceramic stucco textural medium with acrylic paint on canvas. She paints with both a palette knife and a brush.

     
     Her latest painting series, “Connecting To Nature" focuses on combining her perception of the outside world with improvisational abstraction.  Over the years, she has shown her work in solo and group shows at various Maine galleries.
