Connemara Painting

My work is about solitude and freedom. The landscape is a metaphor for breath, life and transformation. The paintings must breathe and change also. For me, freedom from material constraints is best expressed through the mutability of nature. - Douglas James Maguire One Person Exhibitions 2013 Mark Gruber Gallery, "Doug Maguire/James Cramer Works in Oil", New Paltz, NY 2012 The Art Gallery at Rockefeller State Park Preserve presents an exhibition of two realists, Douglas James Maguire and Frances Wells, 'Valley Visions,' Sleepy Hollow, NY 12-11 The Durst Organization Presents: Douglas James Maguire "Places", The Lobby Gallery (1155 Avenue of the Americas + The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, White & Case Building), NY, NY 2011 The Arts Upstairs, "The Five Senses," Phoenicia, NY 2010 Walter Wickiser Gallery, "Time Light and Space," NY, NY 2007 Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NY 2005 Broderick Fine Arts Gallery, Freehold, NY 1998 Hawthorn Gallery Group, Woodstock, London, Montreal, Savannah 98/93 Katherina Rich Perlow Gallery, NY, NY 90/87 Katherina Rich Perlow Gallery, NY, NY 1985 Katherina Rich Perlow Gallery, NY, NY 1980 A.M.
