Katy Allgeyer
Nautical charts and road maps peek through the paint adding mystery and depth to my new work.  I’m inspired by emotional location as much as by physical location.  I find Deer Isle infuses its atmosphere, light, and color into all of my work no matter where I am when I’m painting.

Laura Balombini
“ Imaginary beings... we all have secrets or special gifts. I create sculpture and 2D artwork with a desire to show that magical somewhat shaded side of ourselves and the creatures around us.”

Working with live or frozen specimens in her studio, rather than relying on photographs, she uses a magnification glass to see and record small details while creating intimate portraits of her subjects.

Emily Brett Lukens
“I am a Philadelphia artist who has summered on Deer Isle for 23 years. My inspiration comes from walking the granite ledges and the continuing changes in the landscape along the shores. My works on paper are created using acrylic, graphite, sand and rubbings. The images are close-up and far-away views of fossils, rocks and found objects.”

Nancy Calvert
I have been painting in oils for over 18 years. I studied at Lyme Art Academy and Lyman Art museum in CT. I have taken many courses & workshops and continue to do so. I love to paint en plein air and at my studio on Isle Au Haut where my husband & I live for the summer months and in Portland in the winter.

 

Shirley Conant
“Since retiring from teaching in 1999 I have been a student of watercolor painting.  I have been a summer, and occasional full-time, resident of Deer Isle for 35 years.  I find the scenery, with its ocean air and light, an artistic inspiration.”

 

Karen Cashman

"I have been a year 'round plein air painter in oils since I began my studies at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts years ago. Since then I have spent summers in Brooklin, Maine and am especially inspired by the effects of light and atmosphere on buildings in the landscape throughout New England."

 

Darwin Davidson

Dorothy Doubleday
“Depicting various avian and mammal species in 3-dimensional ceramics and tiles. Plus watercolor and pen and ink illustrations.”

 

Paula Dougherty
“My love of people translates to a love of figurative work and portraiture. For more than thirty years, I have painted and drawn the nude figure from life. There is never a dull moment in the world of people, and I take delight in depicting people outdoors in natural settings as well. Working in pastel and watercolor brings out the best in me and hopefully this shows in my interpretations. It is the essence of the individual I am interested in, and in the fluidity of the mediums and immediacy of the experience I find peace.”

 

Cally Dow
“My ‘Peace Pot’ is a symbol of hope for world peace.  To illuminate the pot from within by candlelight is to remind us that peace begins within each one of us.  Every pot is carefully handcarved, then fired with a luminous white glaze.  Bowls and mugs with the dove symbol are also available.”

 

Lynn Duryea
“The ordinary is quite extraordinary. Through objects of insistent profile and reductive form that combine clay and steel, my reference is to architectural, mechanical and industrial elements. The representation of function is in an allusive and enigmatic sense, suggestive of the past. Close consideration of these images of simplicity and stillness reveals a sense of history.”

 

Mary Eaton
A self-taught artist working mostly with oils since 1978, Mary Eaton’s love of the area is seen in her use of colors and choice of scenery.

 

Maureen Farr    (Mozelle)

Robert Fifield
“I have been doing oil painting part-time for 10 years and watercolor painting for 3 years.”

 

Marion Fishman
“During extended stays at anchor on our sailboat in the Bahamas and the Caribbean I became intrigued with the effects of light on the landscape. These effects of light and vibrant colors are often on my mind as I paint…the strong purple shadows in a building cumulus cloud, the gradations of green in shallow Bahamian water,the transition from afternoon to evening at a tropical beach.”

 

Howard Fussiner
“My work is representational without being realistic.  Every year since the sixties, I have painted one or more versions of the island's Fourth of July parade, with its color and fantasy.  Other landscapes depict scenes from travel in this country and abroad, but Deer Isle works outnumber other landscapes.  My work includes oils on canvas and watercolors and acrylics on paper.”

 

Theophil Groell
(1932-2004)
Working from life in New York, Greece and Maine,  Theophil Groell observed and interpreted the figurative images surrounding him: tree, mountain, nude, island.

 

  Ruth Hennessy

“ I am an artist who lives Annapolis, Maryland and has summered on Eagle Island for over 35 years. Both areas inspire my work with the power of color and light whatever the atmosphere. Painting the changes in light and fog and reflection on the water is especially satisfying. My work consists primarily of landscape watercolors, but I also paint portraits in both pastel and watercolor.”

Anne Krinsky
Anne Krinsky has developed a way of working informed by grid composition, with subtle geometries inflected by recognizable imagery. Her images of flowers and birds, with their delicately drawn lines, hover like daydreams in their fields of color.

 

Henry Krinsky
“I coordinate materials from all over the field, with a wandering imagination that results in an eclectic miscellany of satire and realism in three dimensions.”

 

Lorraine Lans
Year round plein aire painter with studio on North Seabreeze Avenue in Stonington, Maine. Landscapes, still-life and portraits.

 

William Lukens
“The subject of my acrylic paintings is the contrast between the metaphysical and man-made worlds. I am influenced by the characteristics of Abstract Expressionism and geometrical forms of calligraphy.”

 

Frederica Marshall
“I am a visual person... sights, colors, shapes and aromas evoke images in my mind. Creating a meaningful work of art begins with the visualization of these images and culminates in the manifestation of those visions in the physical realm.”

 

Richard Myrick
“I like to go to one place, or town, and do a series of paintings there. This painting was done in Jonesport.”

 

Petrea Noyes
“For many years I was content to make paintings in the usual way- oil on canvas, acrylic on paper, collages- whatever. However, when I got my first computer in 1982 things began to change for me.”

 

Stephen Pace
“Through 60 years of painting I’ve worked to capture the essence of a visual experience in varying degrees of figuration and abstraction.”

Susan Webster
Critic Philip Isaacson has written that Susan Webster’s prints ... “have the formal complexity and, often, the chromatic depth of oriental rugs.  There is invention, verve, gorgeous color and continuous freshness...”
