Oil paint, Canvas, Stretcher bars
The artist signed the back of the painting.
'Path' is an evocative oil on canvas painting by Maura Petersen, stretching 57" x 46". As a prominent artist whose style echoes the Bay Area Figurative Movement, Petersen's influence is deeply rooted in the legacy of her father, Roland Petersen. This piece masterfully blends her preference for expansive, oil-based techniques with structured, prismatic motifs evident in her acrylic works. "Path" captures the dynamic interplay of human figures within a vividly rendered landscape, highlighting Petersen's skill in juxtaposing natural and constructed environments. The painting is bathed in a spectrum of lush, expressionist colors, from the fiery oranges of autumnal trees to the cool blues of shadowed paths, effectively capturing the contrasting effects of light and shadow. This work invites viewers into a serene yet vibrant setting, reflecting both the tranquility and the complexity of the interactions it portrays. Perfect for collectors drawn to rich narratives and bold, interpretative styles, 'Path' is a significant testament to Petersen's artistic lineage and her unique visual language.
About the Artist:
Maura Petersen, an inspired artist, was nurtured in an environment steeped in artistry, shaped by the vibrant community surrounding her father, Roland Petersen, a founding professor at the University of California Davis Art Department. Her childhood was rich in modern art influences, with sculptures and paintings by notable artists like Manuel Neri and Wayne Thiebaud gracing her family home. A pivotal sabbatical to Europe in the 1960s exposed her to the art scenes in Paris and London, where she attended lectures and marveled at masterpieces in the Louvre and other prestigious museums. Maura's works explore the interaction of the human figure with both natural and constructed environments, capturing the contrasts of light and shadow and the interplay of forms.

Maura Petersen, an inspired artist, was nurtured in an environment steeped in artistry, shaped by the vibrant community surrounding her father, Roland Petersen, a founding professor at the University of California Davis Art Department. Her childhood was rich in modern art influences, with sculptures and paintings by notable artists like Manuel Neri and Wayne Thiebaud gracing her family home. A pivotal sabbatical to Europe in the 1960s exposed her to the art scenes in Paris and London, where she attended lectures and marveled at masterpieces in the Louvre and other prestigious museums. Later on in her career, Maura engaged in intensive study from 2017 to 2021 at Monterey Peninsula College and Cabrillo College, focusing on Color Theory, figure drawing/painting, and Design. Her mentorship under Claire Thorson and her father helped refine her technique, focusing on contrasts in values, saturation, and spatial dynamics. Maura’s artistic medium of choice includes oils for expansive, free-form subject matter and acrylics for structured, prismatic motifs. Her works explore the interaction of the human figure with both natural and constructed environments, capturing the contrasts of light and shadow and the interplay of forms.
