| It seems like just yesterday that I was setting up my display area at Saltwater Artists Gallery in New Harbor at the beginning of the season, but somehow the summer art season has flown by and we are soon looking at our end of the season closing date in mid-October. It was a great year getting to know the 5 new artists that were juried into the gallery this season - Wishbone Clay potter Stephanie Haynes, and painters Barbara Coburn, Ericka O'Rourke, J.C. Airoldi, and Katie Bubier ...all great additions to our talented group of 25 member artists. |  ...setting up for the start of the season in May |
...my display area for the 2024 season
The Maine Tasting Center in Wiscasset hosted our satellite gallery again this season and it will be hanging through the end of October. I have 2 sculptures in the show - "Le Fromage Redux" and "Le Fromage". The Center will also be offering a a special tasing event that will pair food and drink with our Maine food themed artwork. The event will take place on October 17th from 5:30 -7:30pm. For more information you can go to the "Pop-Up Dinners" section under the Classes Event Calendar at www.mainetastingcenter.com .

Over 25 artists from the New England area participated in our 2nd annual "Paint the Point"
 | Plein Air Event in July, spending the day painting in the beautiful area around Pemaquid Lighthouse Park. Award winning painter and illustrator,Charles Adkins served was juror for this year's event and presented awards at the ceremony at the end of the day. $500 of the day's proceeds were donated to the Bristol Parks and Recreation Department's recovery and rebuilding efforts following the past winter's heavy storm damage.
