Roger Braimon was professionally trained as a figurative artist in printmaking and photography at Cornell University (BFA) and oil painting at University of Pennsylvania (MFA). As a fabric colorist in the textile industry and later a graphic designer in beauty, he developed his interest in abstract color harmonies, patterns, and composition. His art progressed from oils, gouache, and collage to watercolors – landing on a medium that provides portability with the immediacy of impression. One of his driving interests is balancing unpredictability and precision in his depiction of familiar places in Provincetown and New York City.
