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 Art College in London, England and at the State University of New York
at New Paltz. She received her MFA in Painting from Marywood Univeristy in Pennsylvania.

June’s paintings evolved over the years from realism to abstracted realism and now into
non-objective abstraction. Her non-objective work has been inspired by Abstract Expresionism
and more specifically by the abstract work of three women artists – Grace Hartigan,
Joan Mitchell, and Joan Snyder. June’s 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 uses a palette knife as much as a brush and collages
sand and other natural elements into her paintings.

Her latest painting series, “Earth Connections” was inspired by her desire to express a connection
to the earth that she feels whenever she spends time in nature. These paintings which incorporate
plants, feathers, and natural objects are created in an improvisational way where the colors
and rhythms of the plants inspire the marks that she paints on canvas.
