Artist: Layne

Painting has become a way of my life and through the years it has chronicled all that has touched me, be it a place or a human situation. My figures are contemporary, yet timeless. They invite the viewer to share the moment with them. When I look at my body of work I can fondly remember the where and when.

Once I begin a painting I am relentless until I am satisfied that I have achieved my goal and captured the feeling I started with. It is really all about feeling. Over time my unique use of shape, color, and strong compositions have made my work identifiable.

Over the years I have exhibited up and down the east coast of the United States including Newport, RI, Philadelphia, PA; Virginia Beach, VA; Greenwich, CT; and New York City. My paintings are part of private and corporate collections across the United States from Boston to San Francisco and abroad in places such as Paris, France.

I am a graduate of the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford.

My work has been included in numerous museums and art institutions throughout New England.
