Sean Greene: Painting and Dealing with It

December 14, 2015 Leave a Comment

Sean Greene‘s painting is driven by freedom, feeling, and, above all, exhilarating color. That’s the case whether he’s painting in his toothbrush-factory art studio, on the walls at Facebook’s office, or propped up recovering from a life-altering skateboarding accident. He paints, and he deals with it.

Sean’s work is on exhibit at the Herter Gallery at UMass Amherst through December 14, 2015, in a group show at Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington through December 19, 2015, and in the Hive small works show at the Mingo Gallery in Beverly through January 30, 2016.

Mass Cultural Council is celebrating 40 Years of Fellowships, exploring the stories of amazing artists we’ve funded since 1975.
