2025 Exhibiting Artists
FINE CRAFT
Wayne Sanford
I carve gnarly wood in a free-form manner to release the story hidden within each chunk. My goal is for each piece to be visually attractive from any angle and delightful to handle. Most pieces can be positioned or assembled in multiple orientations.
I primarily carve Maine hardwoods, including apple, ash, beech, birch, cherry, lilac, locust, maple and pear. My work is organic, free from artificial dimensions, angles, planes and symmetry.

Unique Ceramic Art
I create fine art works in ceramics, both functional and decorative. I design and build pieces using hands and hand tools, with a lot of thought going into each piece or collection of work. My pieces are generally considered contemporary in design and can be used in many different forms and venues. I use high fire clays and glazes along with oxides, and more unusual ceramic fluid finishes.

Leah Marie Dence
I love to make functional wares to be used in everyday life, made by my hands with clay, mostly on my pottery wheel. My intention is to infuse joy into ordinary tasks and moments through my work. Lately I have been focusing on plant related items like vases and planters but I also make several dishes and other items to be used in the kitchen and bathroom. I draw color and design inspiration from the beautiful Maine wildlife that surrounds me, combined with the desire to fill everyday household needs with handmade art.
Peggi Loveless
Quilted: Couch throws, table runners, placemats, trivets, wallhangings, scented trivets.
Marc Lamm
I work with wood like a painter works with oils and a sculptor with stone.
From a distance, lines, shapes, contours and shadows are easily seen but when you move from side to side, the change in perspective alters the image like the features of a face when it turns. If a light source moves, shadows in the piece move with it like the sun moving across a landscape.

Lacey Goodrich
functional handmade bright pottery focusing on pattern and nature themes
Jonathan White
My wheel thrown vases and hand made tiles ,are inspired by nature ,and Arts and Crafts aesthetic.
Judy Gates
I create fabric collages that focus on the simplicity and splendor of Maine’s native flora and fauna and the landscapes they occupy. As I create each collage, the feel is of painting with fabric, using stitching to add texture and depth – ultimately resulting in an intriguing push and pull between 2D and 3D art. From a distance, these works read as paintings or drawings. Upon closer inspection, one can see the texture and tactile quality created by the combination of colors, patterns, layering, and stitching. Individual leaves, flowers and features are cut from fabric into intricate shapes, creating layers of color reflecting nature's order amid its seeming chaos. Overlaying the collages with tulle and freehand stitching creates cohesion between each individually-placed shape and subject. The texture of each piece is highlighted by window-box framing.
Emily Norton
I’m Emily Diaz Norton, a ceramicist who lives and creates at my home studio in Topsham, ME. I was adopted as an infant from Bogota, Colombia and primarily grew up in the southern Maine countryside. I have always had my hands in something creative and am especially drawn to working with clay. Clay can be anything, giving life to memories, stories and dreams. My bright, whimsical, ceramic work is inspired by a childhood spent being fascinated by creatures of all kinds, being dubbed “The Candy Queen,” devouring myths/legends/folklore and building amusing narratives. As a maker I want to make people of all ages smile, wonder, imagine and enjoy the magic of my creations. Materials I use are a combination of purchased and personally developed casting slip, clay and glazes. Pieces are made with hand building and slip casting techniques using mid-range porcelain clay bodies. Designs are original and everything is sculpted, created, hand painted and glazed by me.
Christine Wolff

Handwoven wearables. I design and weave scarves and shawls from tencel yarn (eco-friendly fiber made from eucalyptus). I work on a noncomputerized 8-shaft floor loom. My handwovens are for elegant occasions and for daily delight, and durable lustrous tencel is light and comfortable in hot weather but also cozy in the cold. A pleasure to weave; a pleasure to wear.
Annamaria Home
My art celebrates the richness of global cultures, weaving together diverse influences to create vibrant, one-of-a-kind pieces. By infusing pottery with inspired natural elements, I aim to craft works that inspire a sense of wonder. Currently, I'm developing a mosaic collection that captures the essence of my transformative journey to Costa Rica.
The paintings I created and included will be my guide for the mosaics from stoneware.

Laurel Averill
I am a silk artist. Using traditional and non-traditional techniques, I create original silk paintings and wall hangings inspired by the natural world. I also offer giclee prints and cards.
Darcy Duda
As an artist and writer, I tell stories using color and words. As a life-long Mainer, my connection to the forests, fields, soil, and sea of this state runs deep through generations upon generations of other Mainers who farmed and fished here.
I am a self-taught artist who has learned primarily by looking at the work of others and giving it a go. I work in three mediums--oil, watercolor, and colored pencil--depending upon my subject and the emotions I wish to convey. All of my work, whether written or visual, relates to women, social class, and the environment; as a part-time farmer, my hands are in the soil, my eyes on the land, sea, and sky. Sometimes, this focus leads to whimsical, misfit vegetable portraits; other times, it leads to more serious landscapes or botanical illustrations.
As always, I create to live and to give. Once my expenses are covered, I donate what is left to organizations that benefit our shared environment.

PAINTING
Carrie Wagner

Tim Gaydos
Paintings in acrylic and oil of landscapes. Oil paste drawings of diner scenes.
Tracy Leverque
I am an acrylic painter whose vibrant landscape paintings are reminiscent of stained glass and Japanese woodblock printmaking. I paint using a combination of palette knife and brushwork giving my paintings an almost three dimensional aspect which draws the viewer deep into the texture and detail of the painting.
Teresa McCue
Even when I am not painting, I am thinking about painting. I continuously observe nature, looking at light, color transitions, texture, and patterns. In my paintings, I endeavor to use color and light to evoke the feeling of a place or a moment. It is a supreme compliment when someone has a visceral response to my work, emotionally connecting with it first…and then seeing it.
I work in both oil and acrylic. I do a great deal of layering, applying paint, scraping it back and then glazing in transparent layers in order to create an atmospheric painting with a rich surface. I work intuitively, responding to what is in front of me and then step back to assess and make further adjustments. It a dance between my intuition and learned principles of composition. I typically use canvas or panel as a substrate.

Peggy Clark Lumpkins
oil paintings of Maine's beautiful places and her flora and fauna, done in layers of oil glaze. Also some watercolor sketches.
Pamela Shockey
My paintings record passages in time, while examining how sunlight illuminates the landscape. Maine's varied scenery is brought into focus by intensifying the natural colors and using bold brush strokes in my work. This diverse landscape begs to be captured, and highlights Maine's undeniable beauty. I also enjoy painting still life subjects that embody quintessential coastal Maine. Typically, these objects are found on my daily excursions. My intention is to provoke fond memories of the viewer’s past where the landscape or still life connects them to a time and place they cherish.

Kim Ferreria
My artwork features animals doing human things, specifically the things I love including but not limited to, and in no particular order: baking, flowers, music, gardening, books, pastimes, teatime, traditions, dreams, gazing at the stars and moon, my memories. These small-scale oil paintings feature an array of anthropomorphic woodland animals against an idyllic backdrop nodding to French rococo landscapes. I call the series “Joie de Vivre”, the French term used to describe simple pleasures and the exuberant enjoyment of life.
Fred Mafigri
I primarily use acrylics on canvas, with a background in varied mediums while blending realistic components with an abstract backdrop, skillfully wielding both palette knife and brushes to foster depth and dynamism. My artworks vibrate with tranquility, seamlessly fusing movement and excitement in landscape and wildlife studies.
Judy Crosby
My acrylic paintings on canvas include Maine landscapes and seascapes, figures, and still life images. I also paint small round acrylic nature scenes on birch slices.
Barbara Chase
Barbara Chase lives in Maine and enjoys using acrylics to paint her creations of animals, landscapes, as well as still-life paintings.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Vincente Spadafora

George Baines
Unique photographs of Maine within 50 miles of Brunswick. These images appear in frames, on canvas and metal – and as "rustic" prints on wooden panels.
Tom Kretsch
In my photography I use the theme of "less is more" and in so doing capture images that exude a minimalistic mood . I feel my work is clean and without unnecessary information that would take away from the peaceful and serene moments that I have captured. I work hard using light and composition to create these images. I keep this concept a constant theme in my work. I feel my images relate to people because of the painterly qualities that they exude.
Benjamin Williamson
Scenic images of Brunswick, Topsham, and many other local areas.
Doug Hockman
