Eugene Quinn's paintings are featured in the Coquina Gallery. Eugene Quinn's paintings are like looking at a journal entry from a lifetime of painting. He is an artist gypsy and has received numerous awards for his work across the East coast. He now resides in Jacksonville Beach, where he can continue to express and observe the beauty around him. Quinn seems to have always been an artist. Quinn was thrilled to be offered a painting for his college's first exhibition. He began to imagine a life where he could make a living and enjoy his art. He studied art and history at Providence College before he was enrolled at the Art Students League. The Ridgewood Art Institute then took him under its wing. He began selling his art at local shows and soon expanded to New England. He soon established his gallery in Cape Ann's historic colony. He returned to Florida after years of participating in winter Florida art events and established the Coquina Studio, Jacksonville Beach. Quinn paints because he loves beauty. The Studio is the same as Rockport MA's ocean.
