“In all my work, the light is critical to the feeling. After taking photographs on walks around my neighborhood or local trails, I return to my studio,” shares artist Liz Hoag. “This is where the magic happens. Starting with a dark canvas or negative space, I build up by adding light. The result is a stained glass image that is both abstract and representational.”
“Maine has paths, trees, branches, color, light, air, open space, and water. We have a visual peace within reach, whether looking up at trees in our suburban neighborhoods, driving down country highways, or walking trails to the lakes, streams, and sea,” says Hoag. “We can find calm and beauty along the road almost anywhere in Maine.”
MAY 3 – Ellen Granter
“I get inspiration from many sources, including the changing colors, patterns, and atmospheres of the landscape around me as my imagination’s random idea generator,” shares artist Ellen Welch Granter. “I am searching for an elegant balance of spare compositions in each painting over large fields of luminous color.”
“When observing everyday subjects such as shells, I try to notice the small spaces between them and the abstract patterns created by their characteristic colors,” says Granter
May 5 – Alex Dunwoodie
“I’m painting what I love, what grabs my attention and makes me pause. Mornings and evenings are particularly inspirational because colors can be intensified, and light can make the ordinary interesting,” shares artist Alex Dunwoodie. “Boats, whether for work or play, merge with the seascape. And coastal trees stand out like resolute figures, and I appreciate their determination.”
“In the waterworks, I want to convey the sensation of water, light, and motion,” Dunwoodie shares. “I want to depict a time of day, a sensation, and a moment.”
