Local artist Jill Matthews is known for sweeping Maine landscapes and ethereal ocean views. They command a large canvas and fill a room with quiet elegance. However, what happens when she decides to go small? 

 

"The smaller the piece, the more detailed the process," says Jill Matthews. "I spend a lot of time with these beauties. The brushwork is smaller, things are tighter, and it's truly a perfect piece."
 

 

Leading II 8x8 $575

With her smaller pieces of work, you are not getting a lesser version of her work because of the size. If you are lucky enough to have one of these, because she doesn't do many of them, you get some of her best work. 

 

"These pieces, created over the last few months, are not just recent works. They are a significant reflection of my growth and development as an artist, culminating my efforts and experiences over the years," shares Matthews.  "They stand as a testament to my progress and evolution."

Even in these smaller pieces, the style and overall feel of the work still speak like a Matthews piece.

 

"I have often spoken of my ongoing pursuit of finding a voice in my work and learning how to say what I want to say with paint," says Matthews. "These small pieces may whisper but still tell the story."
