ABOUT
VIRGINIA MAITLAND
My
paintings have always been involved with the beauty
of pure paint and the illusion of three-dimensional
space. Experience of light and space in nature has
been my main influence.
My
first oil paintings—at age twelve—were
landscapes and still lifes.
I graduated from the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts where I began with academic training
in the tradition of Mary Cassatt and Thomas Eakins.
There, under the influence of the ‘60s art school experience, I soon
moved toward abstraction, influenced by pop art, abstract expressionism and
color field painting.
When
I relocated to Boulder in 1970, I was captivated
by the light, sky and color of Colorado.
Since
then I have lived and traveled in many places—England,
New York City, Italy, Mexico, Maui, Costa Rica—and
all have found their way into my art in one form
or another. Thus it was natural to begin to incorporate
into my paintings photographs from my travels.
