 The Art of Lynn Karlin

Food. We taste (rather we eat), we touch (maybe not enough). But how often do we slow down to take in the aroma and the beauty of the often-overlooked vegetables, fruit, and edible plants that nourish us? Do we notice the myriad varieties and 
Lynn Karlin’s award winning work has appeared in numerous write-ups from the San Francisco Chronicle to The New York Times and is exhibited in galleries, private collections, restaurants and corporate headquarters world-wide.

Kimberly Curry is a Maine artist.  She works in mediums of watercolor, encaustic paint, and mixed media. Twenty years ago, she left Maine for a stint in the Peace Corps in Romania. The Romanian artists she met while she lived there, helped her find her own artistic voice.
​
Today, she finds inspiration in everyday objects and the landscape around her. In this collection, Stampila, a Romanian postage stamp kicked off a whole series. 
​
Curry visually translated images from the stamp into biomorphic, playful pieces. She stitched color-aid to handmade paper, mounted on small panels and build up layers of encaustic paint in certain sections of the panels. This joyous series shows that in everyday objects, there is fun to be found!

                                         'Body Electric'

                                            “I sing the body electric…. If the body were not the soul what is the soul?”
                                            --Walt Whitman
 
Most of my artwork is about the human body.  I’m interested not only in the surface of the body but also what’s inside, drawing on technical illustration and medical imaging.  While I work in a variety of media, this pieces in this show are all embroidered images.   Needle and thread lend themselves well to the depiction of muscles and other issue because muscles, like thread, twist, stretch, become lax, knot and tear. 
I worked for many years as a lawyer focusing on the legal needs of older people and people with disabilities, returning in recent years to my art practice.  I am currently studying art and art history at the University of Maine at Augusta.  I live in Brunswick, Maine.

“My experience in horticulture and organic land care has led me to focus in on the plant world and the assaults on the soil, biodiversity of plant species, and the protection of native flora. I feel that all these assaults arise from age-old and widely-held beliefs. One is that all the earth and its resources are ours as humans at the top of a hierarchy to use as we will. Another is that the other forms of life on this planet are lesser than we are, thus less deserving of respect or care.
I celebrate plants: their great age and history on the planet, their intelligence and successful adaptions, their beauty of form, shape, and infinite color. I marvel in our new knowledge of their ways of communication, of making themselves attractive to us and other species, and the trading of “goods and services” that goes on between plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, birds, and even us mammals. My aim is to help my viewers appreciate plant life a bit more when they enjoy my work and in a hopeful and positive way.”

My pieces sort of assemble themselves, like Ezekiel's dry bones.
It is your interaction with them that brings life.

   November 2019 Chris Higgins and Tom Higgins
As a painter, what I find most interesting is the dialogue between perception and the act of painting, how a gesture of paint can become the equivalent of what is observed and subjectively transformed.
J. Thomas R. Higgins ​
I am drawn to the color, texture, and light of the natural environment.   References to these elements in my art are purposely kept somewhat abstract to allow the viewer their own personal reactions.  I strive to balance the intuitive process, cubliminal memory and tactile experience.

September 2019 Meredith Cough
The natural world is filled with repetition, patterns dancing in space, inhabiting our vision.  We have all passed through places that grab us with their beauty, New England has many.  While interpreting visual harmony I think about what I can do without.  Painting is about making choices, what to include and what not to include, bringing the artwork into focus.  This process of distillation becomes the artistic voice.

A year in the woods from a treehouse
 I paint from a treehouse in the woods near my home. I am surrounded by forest and I am constantly aware of the shifting seasons, lights and moods of the woods. Encaustic and cold wax are the mediums I use to layer, scrape back and uncover these veils.
