Osborne is both a teacher and painter of the American landscape “en plein aire.” Placing an emphasis on how objects in nature are seen in various degrees of sunlight, Osborne works with oil paint to achieve light and shadow effects as they are seen in New Jersey, New England, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, and in Europe. His paintings are intended to convey a direct study of the natural environment in all its mysterious, atmospheric moods. He is listed in the “Who’s Who in American Art, Who’s Who in the East”, and he is on the Board of Trustees for the Ridgewood Art Institute. He graduated Cum Laude from the Pratt Institute in New York with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a teaching certificate, and studied with Alban Albert and Arthur Maynard of New Jersey.
