Art of the Sea Galleries

Donald Demers was born in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. He began to develop an interest in marine art while spending summers in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. He studied art first at the Worcester Art Museum, and subsequently at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. His paintings have been featured in many prestigious national publications, including Sail magazine, Yankee and Down East. Other noted clients include American Airlines, the National Park Service and Reader’s Digest. Mr. Demers’ work, both in watercolors and oils, portrays a brilliant landscape, often backlit, with dazzling light effects that has earned him the designation of “American Luminist,” referring to the tradition of the master landscape painters of the 19th century. Mr. Demers has been honored by the Society of Illustrators in New York City, and was selected to participate in an annual show at the Museum of American Illustration. His work has also been awarded with recognition by both the Boston and New Hampshire Advertising Clubs in their annual competitions. Mr. Demers is an artist member of the American Society of Marine Artists and resides with his wife an daughter in Maine.
