KINGFIELD — Jeff Seaberg is the featured artist of the month for December at High Peaks Artisan Guild, 245 Main St., Kingfield.

Seaberg, who recently became a member of the Guild, studied Fine Art at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Mass., receiving a bachelor’s degree in 1993. He attended their summer program in Viterbo, Italy, exploring and studying painting. In 1997, he spent the year developing his caricature skills at Horton Plaza and Old Town State Park in San Diego, Calif., as well as showing his paintings at coffee shops. In 1999, he became a volunteer with a nonprofit group called WorldTeach, teaching English in a small town in Costa Rica. He used art and song to help educate the children in learning English.

Seaberg works mostly in acrylic, moving paint across the canvas in an expressive and fluid manner that is bold and dynamic. He describes his artwork as “Abstract Realism.” The subjects he chooses are places or objects seen from his perspective, albeit abstracted with vibrant color and enthusiasm.

The public is invited to share some light fare, punch, and spirits and talk with the artist during first Friday ArtWalk, 5-8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, at the Guild. For more information, go to: www.highpeaksartisanguild.com.
