Robert Pollien

Bio

Robert Pollien (b. 1960)  is a graduate of Trinity College and the University of Pennsylvania. He also attended Skowhegan. A long time resident of Mount Desert Island, painting at the water's edge is central to his practice as an artist. He has twice served as Artist in Residence at Acadia National Park. It is in the spirit of turning to nature that Pollien paints. In making closely observed images of the island landscape, he demonstrates a deep appreciation of this place.

 "The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood." ( Ralph Waldo Emerson)
