Maud Durland is an award-winning Portland, Oregon watercolorist who captures her motifs in a figurative and contemporary style. She is known for her calming renderings of landscapes and she also paints a variety of other subjects. Light and shadow are essential components in her paintings.

Art has always been a part of Maud’s life. Born and raised in Sweden she learned to paint at an early age. After college she continued to pursue her love of art by enrolling in Famous Artists School. Maud has continued to advance her painting skills by attending workshops from artists such as Alvaro Castagnet, Tom Lynch, Tony Couch, Arne Westerman and Susan McKinnon.

Maud’s watercolors are found in private, public and corporate collections in the U.S. and Europe. One of Europe’s leading fine art publishers, EGIM of Italy, has acquired licensing rights to several of her paintings.  Hewlett-Packard published her works at their greeting card website. She recently illustrated a children's picture book. Several of her floral paintings were selected to be included in "The Watercolour Flower Painters Bible". Her art has been shown and sold at juried International and National exhibits.

 

“I look for motifs that indulge the eyes and vacation the mind. Most of my inspiration

comes from the rolling hills and clustering vineyards of the Napa Valley.

I love to watch landscapes shadows and shapes transform with the movement of the sun.”
