HOMELAND | Maureen Welter

Inspired by Ireland and its rugged surrounds, Welter takes to the bucolic old country of her ancestors to paint the laborers, farmsteads, animals and landscape that make that area so profound. Welter’s signature oil and beeswax combination of pigments, work to soften the edges of these picturesque vistas, creating a time honored, primitive appearance. This thoughtful collection of works unites heritage with art and the power of that kindred connection.
