Constance Fahey | Seascape Art & Gallery in Virginia Beach
I am Constance Fahey, an award-winning artist whose work has been shaped by a lifelong connection to the sea. Since 1960, I have dedicated myself to capturing the dynamic beauty of coastal environments through painting and illustration. My education at the College of William and Mary and the University of Miami laid the foundation for a career that spans over six decades. My artwork, deeply influenced by my concern for marine ecosystems and sand dunes, is featured in private collections across the United States and internationally in countries like Ireland, England, France, and Germany. As a founding member and Executive Director of The Artists Gallery at Virginia Beach Art Center, I have fostered a collaborative creative space for artists since 1989. My exhibitions at venues such as the London Square Fine Art Gallery, U.S.Naval Museum, and Honolulu Museum of Fine Art reflect my commitment to artistic excellence. I welcome commissions and engage directly with collectors, ensuring each piece resonates with both personal and environmental significance. My studio at The Artists Gallery allows me to connect daily with fellow artists and visitors, sharing my passion for coastal landscapes. I believe art should inspire preservation and uplift humanity, a principle that guides every seascape I create. This philosophy, combined with decades of experience, defines my approach to art as both a personal expression and a call to protect our natural world.
