June Kellogg lives in Brooklin, Maine and paints in a studio next to her home. She studied art and art education at Byam Shaw Art College in London, England and at the State University of New York at New Paltz. She received her MFA in painting from Marywood University in Pennsylvania.
While living in Pennsylvania, she had solo exhibitions at the Neglia Gallery, at Marywood University, and at Kings College. During this time, she supported herself by teaching art classes to children and adults in her painting studio.
After moving back to Maine, she turned an old wood working shop next to her home into a summer studio and converted a finished room in her basement into a winter studio. She continued to teach art, first in public schools, then privately, and now to college students.
Her latest painting series, "Earth Connections," was inspired by her desire to express a connection to the earth that she feels whenever she spends time in nature. These paintings which incorprate actual plants, feathers and natural objects are created in an improvistional way where the colors and rhythms of the plants inspire the marks that she paints on canvas.
