Celebration Opens Sunday 4pm with Reception I paint slightly off-key and outside the lines — on purpose. I grew up exploring the coastal villages of England and later fell for the rugged coast of Maine, and that shoreline finds its way into everything I make. I’m not interested in copying what I see. I use unexpected color, shape, and line to reinterpret landscapes, seascapes, buildings, and animals — a little like Billie Holiday bending a melody. My paintings are a celebration of color, curiosity, and [...]

Celebration Opens Sunday 4pm with Reception My art has no rhyme or reason when I begin; oftentimes a conversation or a memory will trigger a spark to paint, and more often I just feel like mixing acrylics. I love chunking colors on canvas and then overthinking the little lineS while reminding myself to not take it too seriously... or anything else for that matter! All members of the Club know Molly as an integral part of the successful management of the Club.

Opens Sunday 4pm with Reception I am a photographer and writer living on Bald Mt in Camden Maine. This affords me a birds-eye view of weather advancing toward and retreating from Camden and Rockport harbors. I often choose to shoot in the mystery of fog. For me, it elicits a silence, a quieting of the mind, that makes my wanderings magical. See more of Kit's art on Instagram www.instagram.com/kitaroneau  

Opens Sunday 4pm with Reception (Details to come for Barbara Materna) JOHN WHIPPLE: Paintings that appeal most to me have three qualities: beauty, craft, and intrigue.

Craft means to me that they can’t be made by just anyone: they go beyond a photograph or a digital image; they are more intentional than a random bunch of lines or colors. Intrigue includes mystery, humor, emotion, and an invitation [...]
