Maureen Oliver

Maureen Ann Oliver's paintings are evocative, lushly colored works that tell the viewers stories relating the drama of the human condition. Faces flicker with light and shadow; sensuous brushwork adds texture and nuance to each expression. Oliver has been interested in religion and spirituality from a young age and her work reflects this passion for the spiritual world. Her works suggest a longing for a world beyond the senses. Yet, paradoxically, we enter this world through our senses as we gaze at the intensity of Oliver's color palette and loose, painterly brushstrokes. Oliver's sensitivity as an artist extends to her audience as well. She states, "I would like my art to reach out to people and touch them spiritually and emotionally." Gazing at her work, most viewers will feel Oliver has succeeded in this goal. Maureen Ann Oliver has exhibited her work widely in England and currently lives and works in London
