Laurence Sisson began studying art in Newton, Massachusetts at Worcester Art Museum School. After graduation he spent a summer in Maine where he developed a fondness for the beauty of the coast line. "My subjects may remain the same, but even after 50 years of painting I'm still fascinated by the ocean and desert landscapes," Says Sisson. "I am always looking for new vocabulary to capture the aesthetic form and design and am continually expanding and refining my work." Sisson has been Director of the Portland Museum School. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the National Park Foundation, and Clark, Colby, Dartmouth, Salem State.
