Tina Ingraham

About the Artist

Tina Ingraham, a Maine contemporary realist painter who was born in Kenton, Ohio in 1947, received her Bachelor of Science in Design at the University of Cincinnati in 1970, and an MFA from Brooklyn College of CUNY in 1996 where she studied with Lennart Anderson. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Milton and Sally Avery Fellowship, grants from the Pollack Krasner Foundation and Maine Commission for the Arts. Her residency fellowships include MacDowell Colony, Dorland Mountain Art Colony and The Robert M. MacNamara Foundation. Ingraham lived and worked in Italy from 1999-2002 and studied Master works integral to her painting. She taught at The International School of Painting Drawing and Sculpture, Bowdoin College, Hyde School, Brooklyn College and Stephens College. Ingraham’s paintings hang internationally in private and public collections, including the portrait of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain commissioned by Bowdoin College. To capture color that’s informed by natural light, Ingraham works from life in her studio at Fort Andross in Brunswick, Maine painting landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, and figurative works depicting contemporary scenes. Reproductions of her Harbor Fish Market paintings appear in Carl Little’s and David Little’s "Paintings of Portland," and in "Paintings of Maine, A New Collection" by Carl Little.
