Artist Recognition
Showed at the The Other Art Fair
Artist featured in a collection
This work is available for sale in person at The Other Art Fair Dallas May 11-14, 2023. This work is a portrait of a poet I met at the Chateau Orquevaux Artist Residency in France. She recently performed at the Apollo Theater. The title is an oblique reference to one of the Beatitudes in which Christ declares that the meek are blessed and shall inherit the earth. This work celebrates what I consider to be the opposite: a woman finding her voice, speaking her truth, unashamed to claim her space in the conversation. Painting will be framed in varnished poplar wood.

Maureen O’Keefe is a portrait and figure painter living and working in mid-western Ohio. The process for Maureen's current body of work involves a return to the blind-contour drawing that is taught in beginning art classes. The artist never lifts the pencil from the surface and never looks at the drawing, only at the subject. Once a line drawing is finished, she has a template for a finished work. Her work investigates identities and belonging. Maureen received her BFA in Fine Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005. She has shown work in seven states in both group and solo exhibitions, and is a current member of the cooperative Dutoit Gallery in Dayton, Ohio. Maureen is a recipient of the Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award for FY2019. She is employed at Edison State Community College as an adjunct instructor in the art department. Artist's Statement: "My work uses the portrait and figure to explore themes of identity and belonging. I have recently been very concerned with definitions of goodness and value as they relate to our place in a given community. Spiritual belief, sexuality, gender expression, race, and political leanings all influence the way we experience our communities; my work places specifically chosen individuals within the context of these intersecting identities and celebrates the humanity we share.
