KINGFIELD — High Peaks Artisan Guild’s featured artist of the month is Jeff Seaberg.

HPAG will hold a first Friday ArtWalk featuring Seaberg from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, at 245 Main St. A light fare will be served.

Seaberg studied fine art at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Mass., and received a bachelor’s degree in 1993. He attended their summer program in Viterbo, Italy, where he explored and studied 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 called Pueblo Nuevo de Abangares in Costa Rica. He used art and song to help the children learn English.

Seaberg was raised in New England as the son of an architect and interior designer. His passion for travel began while sailing on the Cape and islands with his parents; sketching their destinations became a family past time. This charted him on a course of adventure and creativity traveling in Europe and Latin America.

He works mostly in acrylic, moving paint across the canvas in an expressive and fluid manner that is bold and dynamic. Interviewed by South Shore Living Magazine, he describes his artwork as “abstract realism.” The subjects he chooses are places or objects seen through his perspective, albeit abstracted with vibrant color and enthusiasm.
