A native Bostonian, Dennis Sheehan received his artistic training in the best traditions of the “Boston School,” studying at the Vesper George School of Art, the Monsterrat School of Visual Art, along with private work with two of R. H. Ives Gammell’s former students, Robert Cormier and Richard Whitney.  Sheehan is a member, instructor and director at the Guild of Boston Artists.  He paints in the Barbizon mode and with the style of landscape painting reminiscent of the American tonalists.  Sheehan says about his own work, “My goal is to have the painting emanate light, rather than be just a surface that records the reflection of light.  This is why the shadow areas are important.  The light areas are focal points of this effort, but the power comes from the shadows.”
