Connie Hayes
I am a painter. I borrow views to paint in
other peoples cottages, homes and treasured places
when they are away. My Borrowed Views project began
in 1990. My Monhegan residency in 1991 was an extended,
private time to study one location in depth. That
extraordinary opportunity propelled the idea of Borrowed
Views into a sustained project that continues to
this day. In 2004 it generated a book on my life
borrowing views and my process as an artist.
I received a BFA in 1980 from the Maine College of Art and
an MFA in 1982 from Tyler in Rome and Philadelphia. I attended
the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1989 and
in 2004 had a one person show at the Farnsworth Museum. An
extended version of my education, exhibition history and upcoming
events is listed on my web site along with many images of my
paintings.
