Barbara Sullivan is a painter and installation artist living in Mid-Coast Maine. Her relationship to the Maine art community is long and storied. She works in the age–old medium of fresco, which she learned when she was the head cook at The Skowhegan School of Sculpture and Painting. Sullivan’s bas-relief fresco objects depict and float between domesticity and the natural world. Sullivan holds a BA in Art and Creative Writing from the University of Maine at Farmington and an MFA from Vermont College in Montpelier, VT. She is recently retired from teaching drawing and painting foundations and sculpture at The University of Maine at Farmington, where she taught for 22 years. She also teaches fresco workshops including The Aspen Institute, The Farnsworth Museum, Haystack Mountain School, Pratt Institute, Bowdoin and Colby Colleges, The University of Maine, Boston University, Waterfall Arts and Monson Arts.
