Deertrees Theatre Art Gallery Exhibition 2023
Close Encounters It’s no secret that Maine is a treasure trove of fine artists and craftspeople which makes it very exciting for me as curator and an artist when bringing a group show together for Deertrees Theater Art Gallery. Each of our artists responds in very personal ways by utilizing a variety of mediums to convey a world imagined through their eyes. Their individual visions are put forth for our consideration. Dreams, memories and perceptions are explored with color, texture and form, in paint, wood, metal and clay. We encounter their work and feel a connection through shared joy, amazement, beauty and inspiration. As one of our artists says in her statement, “This is freedom of self expression, Humanity is portrayed in each subject.” We are also very excited to have a body of artwork included from the Oxford Hills School Art Department Student Showcase! I’m very excited to see what these talented young people bring to the table. Come join us for an Artist Reception at Deertrees on Friday June 23 at 6:30pm and mingle with some of the artists. Refreshments will be served and live music will be in the air. Karen Pettengill - Curator Deertrees Theater Gallery Harrison, Maine Featured Artists Summer 2023
