Opening Reception: Sunday, August 22, 4:00pm Born in Philadelphia and currently based in Bath, Maine, Olivia G. Hoffman has been painting and drawing since 1994.

PAUSED FOR COVID SAFETY Reception Sunday at 4PM Executed in vibrant colors, this series of paintings, done in Flashe vinyl emulsion on Tyvek and panel, draws on the rich artistic tradition of text as image. This tradition stretches from medieval illuminated manuscripts and concrete poetry, to Paul Klee and Bauhaus typography; from Jasper Johns, Jenny Holzer, Lawrence Weiner, and Ed Ruscha to graffiti writers like Retna. In Pages, Feinstein uses words as pictures. The words are largely drawn from the artist’s own writings—poems from the [...]

Reception Sunday at 4PM Katie Blair St John has spent every summer of her life in Small Point, breathing in the colors, composition and atmosphere. A great admirer of art from Italian Renaissance to Contemporary, she foolishly was intimidated from taking painting classes because other students appeared to already know what they were doing. Local painters, Frank and Phyllis Mason and Mary Ester MacFadyen became her inspiration. In the 50’s and 60’s she’d watch them pick up an old, wooden shingle and dash off a quick [...]

Reception Sunday at 4PM NED MOTLEY Artist Statement:  I’ve been a lifelong Small Pointer and currently live year round in nearby North Yarmouth. In 2012  I transformed a garden shed on my rural property into a cramped but very cozy and practical studio.

In ‘05 I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA, specializing in Craft. I’m inspired and influenced so much by [...]

Reception on Sunday at 4PM HATTIE MOTLEY Artist Statement: As a teenager I started sewing with my sisters making clothes for ourselves on our mother’s sewing machine. Over the years I’ve decorated the places I’ve lived in with many curtains, bedspreads and pillow covers. It wasn’t until I retired in 2000 that I bought a new computerized sewing machine with an embroidery arm and started taking classes at the local sewing store. From there I made everything from small quilts, wallets and aprons to zipper [...]

Reception Sunday at 4PM I am a self-taught artist, working out of my studio in Berkeley, California. I have always been drawn to watercolor, but learning to use this mercurial and mischievous medium is a recent exploration. I am constantly thrilled with the interplay between water and pigment and the individualistic and often erratic behaviors of watercolor paints. For me, painting is a practice not a perfect - a constant way to witness and delight in the everyday world around us. The content of this [...]
