Art Exhibitions

The Journey Continues

Paintings by Raymond Paradiso

Paintings by Raymond Paradiso will be on exhibit in the library’s Meeting Room Gallery during the months of January and February 2025.

The artist says of his work:

Creating striking images is my inspiration for painting. My work is always of the landscape and ranges from impressionistic to expressive, often blending elements of realism and abstraction to create the composition. I apply paint in heavy thick impasto strokes, using a brush for an underpainting and then using palette knives to apply texture and detail. I rarely use traditional “earthy” landscape colors and instead like to choose unusual color combinations for my works.

Raymond lives and works in his studios in Concord, MA and Denver, CO. Setting up shop in Denver has been only within the past few years, and he has connected with a few art consultants which have resulted in several sales and commissions to individuals and corporations in the Denver area. Raymond is mostly self-taught but has taken various courses over the years at the deCordova museum in Lincoln and the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society.  He has also had the great privilege to paint with and study under well known New England landscape artist Margaret Gerding.
