FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Establishing atmosphere and mood through composition, pigment, and painterly texture is essential to Traynor’s process. His painting style references 19th century painters and the Dutch Masters. Constant travel and painting on location is a prime source of inspiration for his landscapes.
Traynor’s art studies began at Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey. From there, he furthered his education at Paier College of Art in New Haven, Connecticut. He studied figure painting at the Art Students League of New York, as a merit scholar, with Frank Mason. In Vermont, he continued his art studies with Mason, and Carroll N. Jones Jr.; and later received sculpture instruction from Brother Jerome Cox in Florence, Italy.
John C. Traynor’s artwork is enjoyed in over one thousand private and public collections in the United States and abroad. He is a member of the Hudson Valley Art Association, The Salmagundi Club of New York, The National Society of Mural Painters, and is a Copley Master in the Copley Society of Boston. He is the recipient of over two hundred awards of merit, including the Grumbacher Gold Medal, the Robb Sagendorph Award, and the Frank Dumond Memorial Award for Best Light and Atmospheric Effect in a Painting. Traynor currently resides with his family in southern New Hampshire.
