June Owen

1930-2023

Owen's airy acrylic still-life and landscape paintings breath with the freshness of a master. What interests Owen most about painting is process. One painting builds upon another in a developing pattern of growth and change. Through all of her work, she weaves a consistent thread of style -soft color, intricate pattern, and lots of air. She applies the acrylic paint with the lightness of watercolor and the detail of oil.

Artists Statement

“Air is the key. I want to feel that if I were to enter one of my landscapes I would be able to breathe there. Each work leads to the next… each painting gains nourishment from the one before it.”
