She attempts to communicate the feeling of a scene that captures her attention. She is struck by the blueness of a coastal cove, the liveliness of a field of flowers or the intensity of a sky. Often it’s the memory of a color combination or the strong composition in a landscape that first attracts her.

Pop-Up with Michael Goodwin
Although in art school I majored in sculpture, I never stopped painting, returning specifically the landscape at age 40. I’ve never looked back.
Pop-Up with Stephen Young
“Someone once told me ‘Don’t be afraid of color.’ These are words I live by to this day,” says Young. “So don’t you be afraid of color, either. Let me show you how color can bring your walls to life.”
Pop-Up with markpizzaArt
Growing up in New England, Mark has always been drawn to the power of nature and the ocean and after moving to the metro NYC area, this lifestyle has influenced what Mark’s works have developed into today. Creating a visual that can capture energy in that one moment is what his pieces communicate.
Pop-Up with Christina Thwaites
My paintings address the familiar. Banal in subject matter, yet relevant. My work reflects the context and geographical location of where I reside at the time and has moved and traveled a lot– my practice as an artist has been a means of grounding myself so as to feel part of and confident within each new setting.
Wade Zahares – A Little History
“I have always loved the simplicity of the medium,” says Zahares as he laughs. “Someone needs to remind me of that when I am going out to do plein air, trucking around with my easel, pastel box, board and paper, all covered in pastel.”
Pop-Up Heather Blanton
A professional artist since 2004, Blanton has successfully shown in nearly 50 exhibitions and her work can be found in public and private collections around the globe from Amsterdam and Atlanta to Manhattan and Miami. She has been featured in numerous publications and media outlets and continues to work as the conduit to capture her client’s passions of skiing, cycling, golfing, horse racing, and everything in between.
Pop-Up Artist L.K. Sleat
I work mostly on location and then move the works into my studio where I will work until completion. The scenes in coastal Maine have catapulted my vision to an abstraction of everyday imagery into whimsical scenes played out on the beach, in the dunes on the rocks, to sailing on Casco Bay, and many more, salt-water sanctuaries.
Artist Wade Zahares
Wade works exclusively in pastel; he is drawn to the intimacy of the chalk and the ease with which he can blend colors. The magic happens in his studio, a converted shed just off his main house. The studio, equipped with 15-foot ceilings and a house gutter to catch all the pastel dust, is set on 5 1/2 acres of farmland in Lyman, Maine, just a few miles from the Kennebunk farm on which he grew up.
