A few years ago, three amazing friends who also happened to be artists decided to go on an adventure and stay in a treehouse in Georgetown to paint the incredible scenery.

And so it began.

Diane Carr, a local Kennebunkport artist, shares a bit of how a trip became a journey.

“What started as a painting trip among friends turned out to be so much more,” shares Carr. “It created  a bond to last a lifetime.”

Over the years, artists Claire Bigbee, Ingunn Joergensen, and Diane Carr have shared more than paint and canvas.

“The three of us shared a common connection – the loss of a parent,” explains Carr. “It is a feeling of loss I can only describe as an untethering, a feeling of being aloft. Someone had cut the cord that bound us to this earth.”

Together through tears, laughter, wine, and paint, these three talented local artists have helped heal and keep each other firmly rooted. We are so thrilled they are willing to share paintings they created from their journey.

We cannot encourage you enough to find time to visit this one-of-a-kind show at Pop-Up at Studios on Maine Art Hill.
