Maureen Church is an accomplished artist who finds inspiration in the beauty of nature. She has devoted herself full-time to her art, working in oils and encaustic at her studio at 34 Elton St. in downtown Rochester, NY. As a signature artist in the Genesee Valley Plein Air Painter’s group, she shares her joy for plein air painting in local shows and competitions. Her passion is evident in her small, vibrant paintings, which often serve as references for her larger canvases.

Maureen's work has been juried into numerous galleries and has won several awards, most recently a Best of Show at The Dove Block Project in Geneva, NY. This prestigious award has earned her the opportunity to showcase her work in a solo exhibition at the Dove arts center Main Gallery in 2024. Her paintings can be found in private collections throughout the United States, as well as in public collections at Pittsford Fine Art Gallery, and the Santa Fe Encaustic Museum. You can visit and see her work by appointment at her own studio at 34 Elton Street in Rochester.
