In the Studio with Maureen Chatfield

Chatfield is a contemporary artist whose work blends the gestural energy of New York Abstract Expressionism with the color and structure of Bay Area Figurative painting. She studied at the Art Students League, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, FIT, and Hunter College, and cites Gorky, Guston, Diebenkorn, Kline, de Kooning, and Rothko among her key influences, along with the color sensibilities of Sargent, Manet, and Van Gogh. Chatfield’s work spans non-objective abstraction, abstracted landscape, and narrative painting rooted in personal experience. She has exhibited widely and currently teaches "Modern Landscape" at the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, New Jersey.
