Promoting local artists

Currently Featured: Pauline Lim

Artist's Statement:

My goal is to create an object of beauty that expresses the complexity and anxiety, and sometimes despair, of our modern existence. Lately I have been inspired by medieval religious art where artists were just starting to figure out realism; the images look somewhat cartoonish while still retaining their earnestness. Recent exposure to traditional European religious art and Indian Mughal paintings have inspired me to try my hand at classical techniques, and to put my own spin on traditional religious themes. I explore techniques such as paper-marbling and calligraphy but filter them through a modern, whimsical sensibility. Painting daily gives me the opportunity to practice these various approaches while remaining fresh and enthusiastic.

Born in Iowa in the 1960s. Graduated cum laude from Phillips Academy, Andover, MA. Graduated A.B. magna cum laude from Harvard College, 1988. Works at the Brickbottom Artists Association in Somerville, MA.
