Brief
Bio:
Ron Frontin is a contemporary
Maine painter who continues the American realist tradition
of Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins with his fastidiously
rendered figural images set on the coast and in the
countryside. His subjects include the hardworking fisherman
and farmers of Maine and his family and friends.
Frontin was born in Camden, Maine, in 1962 and today
resides near the town of Rockland. Indeed, he only lived
out of his home state briefly, while attending the Philadelphia
College of Art (1981-85) and while apprenticing in Andalusia,
Pennsylvania, with the noted realist painter Nelson
Shanks (1985-88).

Artist's Statement:
The painting depicts my interest in
the daily struggle of people working the land and sea as
well as my love for the fleeting light shows of nature that
we are all given if only we look.
