The artist's eye

“Life dances, sings, and is living.”

Herb Rauh brought a commercial artist's craft and a storyteller's humor to the people and places of New England. His work was made for the world beyond a gallery wall, on cards, calendars, books, advertisements, and in homes.

Lobstermen checking traps, a Herb Rauh watercolor print

From the working coast

Art with a weather report.

Fog, salt, work, laughter, and the small rituals of the shore. These are not generic coastal scenes. They are observations made by someone who saw character everywhere.
