daring..."

an interest in the history of contemporary
art
in our region."
Michael
Paglia, WestWord

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.
