Born in Washington D.C., Cecily Corcoran explores life and nature in her artwork. From cityscapes to seascapes, her paintings capture the light, the personality and the moment of her subject matter.
"My aim is to capture beauty. I hope to record a glimpse of this beauty before it folds from our moment. As I begin to create, I look for color, movement, and balance. I then determine the light source, because light provides a mood and reveals texture. My composition is blocked in with shapes of color varying from dark to light. I develop my work into a representational style."
From her studio in the United States to her work in cities and fields around the world, Cecily tailors her palette to bring out the essence of her subject. her specialty is oils, although some of her other works include acrylics, watercolors, and pastels.
Cecily has studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Lyme Academy of the Fine Arts, and received her BA in Studio Arts from George Mason University in Virginia, USA. She has been a certified art teacher since 1993 and practicing art instructor since 1996. In 2012, Cecily received her Masters in Art from Virginia Commonwealth University in Virginia, USA.
Her YouTube Channel is Cecily's Studio.
