Finger Paintings
Andrew Magee Raised in an academically accomplished family, Magee had an enriched artistic childhood. He focused on zoological subjects. His avian illustrations were included in a bird identification manual published by a Massachusetts Wildlife agency. Later in life, he settled on making large action paintings with organic references. He makes these with thick oil paints applied with his fingers in latex gloves. |

Ways of Seeing Selecting what to represent in a painting is a defining act. What an painter sees is specific to that person. Mishkin chooses limited details rendered in color harmony. His abstract paintings are presented along side of still life canvases. |
