About
the Artist
At 45, artist Sean McCabe has been majoring in art all his life,
and
climbing / skiing for over half of it. Sean completed his BFA at
the
University of Utah. After finishing his undergraduate degree he
enrolled
into the education program and received his teaching
certificate. For the last eighteen years Sean has been teaching
art at
the high school and jr. high school level. As for his outdoor ventures,
Sean
has been actively pursuing climbing and skiing, in one form or
another, for
over half his life. He has climbed all over North America and in
parts of
Asia. His favorite areas of concentration are Utah, North cascades
and B.C.
Canada.
As a young teacher, teaching in the Granite School District of
Utah, Mr.
McCabe received the Teacher Of The Year award in his fifth year
in the
classroom. After moving to Mazama WA. Sean was recognized by his
peers at
Liberty Bell High School and awarded Teacher Of The Year after
only his
second year with the district. In the year 2000 McCabe was
again honored by his Utah peers, The Olympus High School Alumni
Teacher
Recognition Committee, and was chosen to receive the prestigious
Catalyst
Award. This monetary award is given to teachers who had great impact
on post
graduates lives. The biggest surprise of all came in 2002 when
Sean was
nationally recognized and awarded The Milkin Family Foundation
Award. "I try
to motivate students by living what I teach", says Sean.
Sean is a working artist and tries to balance his teaching duties
with doing
graphic design work for outdoor companies and journals. Over the
years Sean
has somewhat established himself in the climbing world as a graphic
designer/illustrator. Sean's graphic designs can be seen on many
of The
North Face, Patagonia, and Black Diamond clothing labels. As for
his
illustrations they can be found in American Alpine Journal and
Climbing
Magazine. Most recently Sean's work has appeared in the very prestigious
Alpinist publication, considered the "New Yorker" of
climbing literature.
" My works focus is based on personnel experiences. I climb and ski
partially
so I can do my art, and I do art as a way of sharing my experiences
with
others, they are directly connected".
Sean's true love is his fine art. His work is both playful and
colorful. My
work is expressionistic in that I take liberties with the human
form and
with color. My figures are almost character like, perhaps similar
in style
to Thomas Hart Benton's depiction of the American worker in many
of his
paintings, says Sean. When asked who else influenced his style
he points to
Van Gogh. "Without question I am most envious, and impressed
by Van Goghs'
work. I also find great inspiration and direction from others of
that same
time period, specifically Bonnard and Degas. I want to do to the
climber/
skier what Degas did with dancers, and I strive to create space
through
color with the same understanding that Bonnard was able too".
Sean's work is unique in that it reflects
who he is. "I do
work because I
need too, and because I enjoy it. My paintings are a part of me,
and for my
enjoyment, I do hope however other can relate and find pleasure
in them".
Sean describes his work as landscapes and shadows from a skiers
perspective.
Most of his work deals with the relationship between human form
and the
mountains. His ski subject paintings are definitely influenced
by his years
training and racing. " My skiers represent me, my friends
or experiences,
always out their getting after it", says Sean. He insists
his work is also
deeply spiritual. "We are but small players in God's magnificent
creation. I
am always blown away by what God has created for our pleasure,
and can think
of no better way to glorify him then to paint what he has laid
out before
us. I can not improve on what God has already done, I just try
to show his
glory from a little different perspective".
Sean lives in Mazama, WA with his 6 year old daughter Novie, Dashe
18
months and his best friend and wife Laura McCabe. Laura does a
bit of skiing and climbing too, she is a two time U.S. Cross
Country Olympic ski team member, professional skier for Fischer
and coaches
for the Methow Valley Nordic Ski Team.
