Artwork by MassArt alumna Maureen O’Connor, BFA ’81 Painting, is featured on WGBH’s Community Canvas digital mural, with a pair of ceramic ducks taking center stage. These small inanimate knick-knacks find new life under O’Connor’s brush. Lively and bright, her paintings are tinged with nostalgia, recalling 1970s interiors with their fun patterns and decidedly analog subjects.

O’Connor has been exhibiting in Boston since the early 1980s. Her work has been shown in numerous public and private collections, including the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Goodwin and Proctor, and Fidelity Investments.
