About the Artist

Colin McGuire received his BFA from Montserrat College of Art and his MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design. He lives in Portland, Maine and Cape Cod, MA and serves as Head of the Art Department at the Academy at Penguin Hall in Wenham, MA.

Colin’s recent oil paintings search for the harmony found in nature. He combines a decade of palette knife painting experience with an energetic expression of light and atmosphere on the canvas. His experiences by the coast - as a surfer, shell fisherman, and painter, have all come to the surface in his vibrantly authentic coastal scenes.
