"A Connecticut Perspective" by Jim Laurino<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About the artists: <\/strong>Jim Laurino<\/strong><\/a> started painting at a young age, focusing on marine subjects under the tutelage of notable marine painter Carl G. Evers. Laurino eventually developed a passion for landscape painting and for the past five years his work has been almost exclusively executed en-plein-air<\/em>, in the open air. His coarse and deliberate application of color creates rich and vibrant representational artwork. His works have appeared in numerous juried exhibits across the state and hang in private collections.<\/p>\n

Laurino, a resident of Burlington, studied design and color theory at the University of Connecticut and is a member of the Lyme Art Association. In addition to his artwork, Laurino makes the frames in which they hang.<\/p>\n
