The Art of Leaving a Legacy
A handful of Maine artists have left legacies to promote future artists.
Maine Master: Philip Barter
From lively narratives to stylized landscapes, downeast painter Philip Barter is a Maine master.
The Draw of Water
Water is a vital element for painter Marguerite Robichaux, a seasoned fly fisher who often combines painting and fishing trips, who captures the rivers and lakes of Maine.
Bears, Boats, and Boules
Cynthia Stroud creates bronze bears, painted boats, and more in her Brooklin, Maine, studio..
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.
Inside the Frame
The people who make the art often get our attention, but who stretches their canvases and who makes their frames? Meet a husband-wife team that creates gorgeous frames, and a pair of talented canvas makers.
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.
Shipping News
Since opening its Portland, Maine, office several years ago, the Icelandic company Eimskip has been shipping more and more goods to and from Maine in its container ships. Two artists recount their ride from Portland to Reykjavik on one of those vessels.
