Originally from Lexington, Kentucky, Sean Ware lives and paints in Sarasota, Florida as an illustration instructor at the Ringling College of Art and Design. Whether it’s fading light, passing storms or growing weeds, Sean enjoys looking at these everyday surroundings and finding something new in a familiar thing. His work balances often dissimilar methods: alla prima plein air painting, large studio painting, and printmaking, each prompting and informing the others. Previously, Sean has taught classes and workshops for Berea College, the New Hampshire Art Association and Lakes Region Community College in Laconia, NH. His paintings have been exhibited in galleries across the United States.
