"The theme of the work has always been the in between. I call this shoreline, my compositions are a door newly ajar, an edge to a neighbor's treasured yard; canvases in conversation, living the eager. The eager of next to fly-I build." - Jeffrey T. Fitzgerald

​

Jeffrey Fitzgerald is an artist who senses as much as sees all that calls to him― the briny breeze drifting swiftly over cold water that is all at once blue, green, grey, white; the roughhewn coastline with craggy sharp-edged and smooth round rocks; the softly dancing leaves whether tethered to their branches or softly falling to the autumn ground; the sky hued on perfect slow summer days, by fast winter squalls, and quiet gloamings as the sun fades into night.

​

His work, now in its fifth decade, is described as majestic, vivid, and mysterious. He was raised in a small river city, but he grew in the beautiful coastal town of Ogunquit, Maine, and blossomed as he studied art in Amherst and began his lifelong pursuit of his aesthetic expression in Manhattan. His medium: bold acrylic and mixed media on linen and canvas. The brushstrokes that harken the way he sees his world are passionate and determined, and his palettes evoke his memories of the extraordinary places he has lived and loved and sojourned and dreamed.

​

Inspiration, he says, “comes from the process and the subject finding a balance. From graphite dust on a surface to pigment's weight across the canvas, the painting is coupled to a place. I am often seaweed being pushed onto sand,” and his experience shaped by memories of “carefree days of sun where tidal change interrupted by the foghorn was my town.”

Studios in Manhattan and York, Maine allow Jeffrey to paint  close to his imagination’s touchstones. And galleries from Kennebunkport to Provincetown to Boston and New York City offer his patron collectors' and first-time collectors spaces to see current works.
