It is this passion, this love, that Abbie has for her surroundings that is revealed in each canvas. Works like Lone Pine and Winter Moon breathe with the life she infuses in her work. Standing in front these paintings, one is transported and sitting on the edge of the scenery taking in the world that is Abbie Williams.

Maine. As they see it. Opens
All three rooms were full to capacity, food and drink flowed perfectly next to the buzz of brush strokes and beauty, and over a dozen artists discussed their inspiration and shared their thoughts and ideas with art buyers and each other. This is success.
Maine. As they see it. – July 18th to August 6th
Maine As They See It will run at Maine Art Shows at 10 Chase Hill Rd in Kennebunk for three weeks, starting on July 27th. We welcome you to stop in and experience this work first hand. As always, the show will also be available on-line starting Thursday, July 26th, and will run through August 6, the length of the show.
New Works in the Making
It is definitely a treat to wander through the rooms with nothing but silence to critique the work. Time is undisturbed as the memories and visions of Philip Frey spill into each room. Views of Acadia National Park and Schoodic Pennisula, abstracts of water and sky, and children captured in play complete the celebration of summer.
Road Trippin’ with WGME 13
When heading into Kennebunkport from Rt. 9 it is impossible to miss Maine Art Paintings and Sculpture. Known for the large display of Lyman Whitaker Wind Sculptures in the front yard, Maine Art has greeted visitors and locals alike for over twenty years now.
Reflection – Susan Wahlrab
It was only after a conversation with Vermont State Curator, David Schutz, that Susan truly began to understand her work’s connection to the concept of reflection.
Evening Light – Janis H. Sanders
Set at the top of the island, the Monhegan Lifesaving Station overlooks Mohegan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Now dormant, Janis found inspiration, not only by what is, but by what was.
Rock ‘n’ Roll – David Witbeck
David’s work is very unique and easy to distinguish. The charm and love of the coast comes through. For those us born and raised New England coast, we have known Ducan, the lobsterman, our whole life.
A Great Choice
Many of the artists were on hand to give a personal invitation into each piece. To hear the passion and inspiration behind their work, made something beautiful, extraordinary.
Fog and Flaura – Abbie Williams
A painter at heart, Abbie is seduced by anything that sparks her imagination. “It demands I paint it!” she says of the fog found a series she started over a year ago.
