The “Solo Art Series” is a series of monthly solo art exhibitions for established artists who have a body of work to present to the public. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, which resulted in the selection of the artists who are featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Maureen’s Artist Biography, her Artist Statement, along with 24 of her oil paintings. We hope that you will take the time to read Maureen’s information and to take a look at his art.
Maureen grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. She inherited her artistic abilities from her father, Dick Scullin, who was a well-known commercial artist and who worked for various advertising agencies in Detroit from the early 1960s until 2000. When Maureen was young, she began her artistic education by spending countless hours learning from her father.
After many years of studying with her dad, Maureen moved out on her own and studied at The Parsons School of Design, NYC. Before Maureen even finished college, she was accepting illustration jobs from book publishers, advertising agencies and corporate clients. She had a successful career as an illustrator for many years.
After having a family she moved to Asheville, North Carolina where she enjoyed watching her girls grow up and where her family enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery.
Today, Maureen is a full-time artist in the Raleigh, NC area. She concentrates on creating commissioned portraits, fine art landscapes, still life paintings, and figurative artwork. “I love painting almost every day and I enjoy learning new skills and methods to apply to my artwork,” Maureen says. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t want to be in my studio. It’s where I feel most at home.
My art journey began in Detroit with my father’s influence. He was a commercial artist who spent countless hours teaching me about art. I moved to the NYC area and I attended Parson’s School of Art. I then became an illustrator creating book covers, magazine illustrations, as well as art for Ad agencies. Later, I turned my focus to pursuing fine art. I continually try to improve my skills by attending artist workshops and studying the great masters. There is no “safe point” for me when I feel I know all and feel comfortable and confident in my work. There’s always more to learn. It’s a bit of an anxiety ride, but worth the journey. If I can step back, look at one of my paintings and feel that I might be getting somewhere…it’s worth the ride!
