Sam is an oil painter who specializes in landscapes and commissioned custom paintings.
Sam has been painting for more than 30 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 where he won a four year scholarship. This was a European style atelier 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 landscapes and still life’s 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: The Guild Of Boston Artists 2017 - a one -man show of landscapes called Water & Light ; Powers Gallery, Acton, Ma.; and Tree's Place, Orleans, Ma.
Mr Vokey’s paintings have been included in many books and magazines including the cover of the book The Boston School published by Blue Tree Press. He was also the cover artist of the 2005 issue of American Artist magazine.
