Justine Skahan, Paint the Town Artist 2026

Justine Skahan - Paint the Town 2026 | In-Town/Outdoor Artist

"My work revolves around the idea of home. I have always been interested in the idea of the house as a metaphor for human relationships: both need continuous upkeep and begin to deteriorate if left unattended. My interest in the subject of home extends to the idea of shelter more broadly, including improvised structures, tents, and elements of the residential landscape. In my recent paintings set in the almost-dark, I hope to capture a feeling of tenuousness and a sense of disappearing. My work is very impacted by place, and I work from a combination of memory, photos and intuition."
