Maine art
Sarah Faragher
Painter Sarah Faragher relies on intuition—and the Maine landscape—in creating her canvases.
Animal Visions
Artist Dan Falt is known for his beguiling wooden animal sculptures.
The Art of the Commission
Yes, you can do it: you can order up a special work of art—and contribute significantly to its creation.
The Artist and the Ardent Admirer
The complex relationship between an artist and an ardent admirer: collector Susan Myers and painter Paul Rickert.
Maine Muse
Alexandra Tyng finds inspiration for her paintings by looking at the landscape from the air.
Metal Magic
Stop by Bar Harbor artist Melita Westerlund’s warehouse studio and you will find her wearing industrial protective gear and wielding industrial power tools. Her final product is far from industrial, though.
When Art is a Family Affair
Is a child whose parents are successful artists inclined to become an artist, and when this happens is it the result of genetics or due to being raised by artists in a home full of art? In the case of Tim, Susan, and Greta Van Campen, it was probably a bit of both.
Nadeau of the North
Artist Ed Nadeau taps into his Franco-American heritage and a sense of Maine to create stories of life lived near the edge. In the spectrum of Maine artists, Nadeau is something of a rarity: a narrative painter who mixes fact and fiction. Many of his canvases conjure stories, some drawn from family and personal experiences, others “ripped from the headlines.”
Art Flotilla
Celeste Roberge, a Maine sculptor whose work can be found in major collections across the country, explores the world, looking for inspiration in the environment. When she finds it, there is no telling how it will eventually manifest itself in her art, which, while conceptual, also is tangible, engaging, and provocative. Art writer Carl Little takes a look at her work with seaweed.
