Summer 2011

June 16–July 6
Real Maine Revealed Two of my favorite artists who have shown with us before and who are well represented in my personal collection. Both have painted Maine for decades and have distinctive, original and compelling visions of our magnificent state.Phil Barter William Irvine

July 7–20
RingsEARRINGS Some of our favorite jewelers present rings and earrings to delight you. One can never have too many of these fundamental jewelry items. These are not necessarily intended to be worn together, but are a dizzyingly exciting, splendiferous collection of the fabulous. Jessica Fields Melle Finelli Barbara Heinrich
Susan Hoge
Atelier Janiye Todd Pownell Rebecca Straus

Three FriendsThese three artists have been in each other’s orbit for many decades. Despite their work being completely different, it is a special relationship in which everyone benefits.Nancy McCormick Philip Heckscher Casey Mallinckrodt

July 21–August 3
ipad paintingsThese artists use an iPad as their palette and brush as they create original paintings electronically. They are then laser printed. You may have seen an example of this new painting medium on the cover of the New Yorker magazine. Now come to see it in the flesh. John Bavaro Corliss Blakely Rita Flores
David Scott Liebowitz Douglas Wittnebel

SetsOccasionally one finds a worn velvet box with a beautiful necklace, bracelet, earrings and ring–a complete ensemble of estate jewelry. This exhibition presents jewelers who have also created a story, an aesthetic, or an idea through a collection of similar pieces. See how this concept is expressed through different types of jewelry.

Liaung-chung Yen
Emily Watson

However there is an undeniable beauty in our physical world as it presents itself in our subatomic landscapes or peering through the cosmos. These are ScientistArtists. Imagine the real, see the unseen, MicroMacro on paper. Felicia Denton Stefan Elliott Fran Forman John Guthrie

July 15 Korean Jewelers
In my travels around to various shows, I have found that many of the artists whose work I absolutely love are of Korean descent. Perhaps it is their education or cultural perspective, I do not know. I do know that this collection is refreshing, challenging, flawless. Youn Joo Kim Hongsook Lee Jimin Park So Young Park
Myung Urso Kiwon Wang

July 22 Double Vision
Two artists with similar conceptual motivations working in different media. Both offer a play of reflection and translucency. Both play with perspective planes, double exposure and complex, overlapping visual and contextual imagery. Jeff Carpenter Karin Rosenthal
