Sam Vokey
Sam Vokey is an oil painter who specializes in landscapes and still life’s and commissioned custom paintings. See his work at www.samvokey.com
Sam has been a successful artist for more than 25 years. He is an elected member of The Guild Of Boston Artists and has won the designation of Copley Master from the Copley Society of Boston. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College in Maine and Middlesex School in Concord, MA.
He attended the R.H.Ives Gammell Atelier in Boston for four years. This was a European style atelier scholarship program that only admitted 5 students at a time. Those students worked closely with a master painter to learn the fundamentals of painting still life, landscape, portrait and figurative work.
His painting style is most closely associated with the Boston School tradition of painting which crosses Realism with some of the softer edges and painterly qualities of Impressionism. Vokey’s still life’s and landscapes demonstrate a strong consideration for creating balance between the overall composition and the light and dark values in his paintings.
Sam has had many one-man and group shows at different galleries including most recently at: Powers Gallery, Acton, Ma.; The Guild Of Boston Artists, Boston Ma. and Tree’s Place, Orleans, Ma.
In 2012, Sam received the Frank Benson Award at The Guild of Boston Artists for the second time. He has also won the R.H.Ives Gammell Award, and in 2009, he won the prestigious Edmund Tarbell Award, an honor given to first prize in painting at the annual All Members event held each spring. At the Copley Society of Boston, he has won numerous awards, including the status of Copley Master; In 2007, Sam was awarded the Copley’s John Singleton Copley Award, the highest honor given by the Copley Society.
