Conner S. Read

Connor S. Read is an acrylic painter and watercolorist. A predominantly self-taught artist, Read spent the early part of his career painting portraits and wildlife for friends and family. Read later dedicated himself to painting full-time and became adept at illustrating beautiful perspectives inspired from his nature outings.

Driven to capturing the serenity and beauty of the natural world, often focusing on the majestic forms of birds, his artwork not only shows his unique understanding of form, color, texture and light to capture natural effects, but reveals a signature combination of realism and expression. This is especially clear in his two new paintings of Painted Buntings.

Presently, he’s learning from Julie Crews in the effort to elevate his work and find his artistic voice.
