ART QUEENS SOCIETY MEMBER

Tina Rawson

Tina Rawson is a colorful contemporary painter. She took up the bold decision in 2021, amidst the protracted COVID-19 pandemic, to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a painter. It's a dream come true. Studying art in college at the University of Pittsburgh helped prepare her for work as an artist, and travels throughout Europe and across the United States inform her work. Her memories of people and places also provide artistic inspiration. She sees beauty in the everyday and hopes to relay it through bright colors, movement and texture.Her many exhibits include a recent solo exhibit "Creative Connections: Contemporary Art" at the Newburyport Art Association, a show at Coastal Living Gallery in Little Compton RI, and a museum show at The Wenham Museum in Wenham, MA entitled "My Essentials." She is a proud member of The Art Queens, The Newburyport Art Association; and a gallery member of the Little Compton Café in RI and the Portsmouth Historical Society’s Gift Shop in NH.Tina works as an artist and educator in Amesbury Massachusetts and visits her native Sweden annually. She owns Start 2 Art, where she teaches young children through adults the joy of making art and kurbits, a Swedish folk art style which she studied in Sweden. Commissions, studio tours, open studios, classes and live event painting are all on offer at www.tinarawsonart.com

As a contemporary impressionist painter working primarily in acrylic paints and mediums, I aspire to convey not only the scene but also the moment and mood. The moment is fleeting but the painting allows us to live there a bit longer, to linger, reflect, contemplate and enjoy.

Reflecting on a serendipitous moment in time can be deceivingly difficult. I sketch my subject matter first, getting to know it so well that when I put my brush to work, I find that the art and colors flow.

I often work outside in nature and finish in the studio, capturing the essence of a moment and offering viewers an uplifting, positive message.
