StoreMarc Pelletier was born in Lewiston, Maine in 1957. He received his BFA from the University
of Southern Maine in 1981 and earned a Master of Fine Arts from Syracuse University in
1983. In 1979 he studied at Whitelands College in London. In 1980 he spent a
formative summer at the Skowhegan School of Art in his home state after being awarded
the Marguerite Zorach Scholarship in Painting. Pelletier began making collages after he
moved to Manhattan in 1983, and since then has participated in solo and group shows in
NYC and Cherry Valley, NY.
The challenge to interpret and describe one's life through the medium of oil painting is still vital for me as an artist today. I create oils on canvas, graphic works on paper, etchings, and collages that express a personal iconography through experimental techniques. Art for me has always been fraught with a real sense of discovery. Each time I begin a work the aspect of the unknown is what I must explore.
