JoAnne Chittick is a prominent watercolorist who lives and works in Cohasset, Massachusetts. This watercolor is an outstanding example of her work, inspired by her travels to coastal Maine.
The following is a personal statement from the artist: "Making art (and doing handwork, thanks to my Norwegian heritage) has always been an essential part of my life. In high school, I took courses at the Cleveland Museum of Art, in college, I studied woodblock printing with Leonard Baskin, and since moving to Cohasset in 1971, I have taken classes and been involved in the South Shore Art Center, North River Arts Society, the Duxbury Art Association, and have traveled to Maine to paint glorious coastal scenery. My initial work with watercolor paints took a turn when a dear artist friend died and left me her oil paints. So, I have been switching back and forth between these two media for many years, painting — in either watercolor or oil, landscapes, and buildings, as well as still life. I paint large and small, my style is graphic and colorful, and I convey my own sense of a subject through suggestion and impression as well as careful rendering."
