Artist – Jillian Herrigel
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 [...]

Artist – Molly O’Day
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.
