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.

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.
The image she created is one of new growth scattered with the multitude of colors wildflowers in Maine bring.
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.
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.
All of Jill Valliere’s work glows. Admittedly it is in part to the metal leaf and glaze she uses, yet honestly it is the heart and soul she painstakingly places there for us to find.
The range of Craig Mooney’s work is fabulous. Whether your connection is to the water, the land surrounding it, or the people who call it home, Craig’s work will find your eye and your heart.
With inspiration surrounding him, it is easy to understand how pieces like “Three Boats” happen.
