David A. Lussier is a plein air artist whose landscapes of sparkling autumn hillsides, muted spring days of melting snow or fishing boats under a hazy summer sky convey his passion for New England and for fine art. He has dedicated himself not only to his profession, but also to being a steward for the landscape that is his inspiration and to sharing his love for his craft with others. He has won numerous awards and accolades for his work as a fine artist. (See his Curriculum Vitae)
David was trained as a commercial illustrator, but discovered his passion when he tried painting outdoors. Only by painting en plein air can he react to the ever-changing, energy-charged world of nature at his brush tip with a spirit and spontaneity unobtainable in the controlled environment of the studio. He produces landscapes in a broad-brush bravura style using a narrow palette of colors. His paintings evoke an emotional energy that begs viewers to return for another look. Lussier is a true believer that less is more in painting and the brushstroke is an artwork's essence.
