About the Artist

Barbara Chaisson is an award winning acrylic painter and mixed media artist with an upbeat sense of color and design. She enjoys painting all things coastal New England – especially the sailing activity surrounding the Boston Harbor Islands. After capturing a scene plein air, she returns to her studio to add the line and collage work.

She received her formal training at Massachusetts College of Art & Design, earning a B.F.A. degree in Design. She then spent many years as an art director & designer in Boston’s advertising industry. Her work won awards for clients including AT&T, American Express, Bose, Dunkin Brands, Gillette, IBM & McDonalds.

Her art direction and design background is evident throughout her paintings.

Her work is a balance of bold color harmonies paired with strong compositions.

She is an exhibiting gallery artist at South Shore Art Center, Cohasset, MA and Cape Cod Art Center, Barnstable, MA.  She is also a member of North River Arts, Hull Artists, Plymouth Center for the Arts and Duxbury Art Association.

Her work can be found at Expressions Fine Art & Contemporary Craft in Scituate Harbor.
