On the Waterfront – William B. Hoyt
When William was asked to create a personal reflection of ‘his Maine’ for Maine. As they see it., of course there was a memory to walk with him through the process. “On the Waterfront” began in a story from the small town of Stonington, Maine.
Red House and Pink Cloud II – Abbie Williams and Monhegan Island
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.
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.
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.
Fleeting Light – Jill Valliere
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.
Drunken Sailor – Craig Mooney
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.
Topside Galley – William B. Hoyt
William B. Hoyt captures the heart of the sea and the sail like no other. The water moves along his brush strokes and carries you off. Even for a land lover the lure of the ocean is hard to resist when visiting with William’s work.
