Oil Paint Cods

Item Description

Title & Artist:  "Parrot Fish" – by Claudia Kaufman

Medium & Size:  Oil paint on wood.  21 7/8" L x 8 5/8" H x 3/4" D.  For indoor display only.

Artist Statement:  As a contemporary realist painter, I create studies in observation—still-life set-ups of familiar objects that are deceptively simple, yet complex. In translating the three-dimensional world to a 2D field, I observe and attempt to capture the conditions of light, form, color, and space through the painterly properties of oil paint.

Artist Biography:  A resident of Marblehead, Kaufman is a member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston, North Shore Arts Association, Rockport Art Association, and Marblehead Arts Association and has been a frequent exhibitor and award winner in greater Boston-area exhibits.

After receiving an undergraduate degree in Fine Art, Kaufman worked as a commercial artist in New York City and Boston, followed by a career as marketing executive/creative director of a national healthcare technology company.

Kaufman has also studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and she completed a postbaccalaureate residency program in painting at Brandeis University. Her studio practice is in Marblehead.
