Maureen is a vibrant and passionate full-time artist who has been creating and selling her serene oil paintings for the past 25 years. In addition to that, she has been the instructor for private "sip and paint" acrylic painting parties at client's houses, and she recently started a "Brush with Life" blog-style column for the Susquehanna County Independent.

She especially enjoys the collaboration process of commissioned work and welcomes every opportunity with open arms and heart.

Her current clientele includes both local admirers, as well as a large number of worldwide private collectors. Canvas sizes range from 4 inches to 4 feet and the breadth of content is just as extensive. Her subject matter includes portraits of people and pets, as well as beautiful landscapes and buildings.
