Stephanie Bartron-Miscione
Stephanie Bartron-Miscione lives in New York City and Deer Isle, Maine. Her art work consists of botanically correct studies and still life compositions using pencil and gouache. 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.

 


Peter Beerits
“I work full-time as a sculptor in wood and metal artifacts, making life-size figures, animals and scenes.”



Rory Beerits
“I work in ceramics, mixed media and jewelry, often drawing on images from Northern Mythology.”


 


Jody Blagden
“I paint transparent watercolors of flowers, people and places.”

 


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.”

 


Rosalind Bridges
Multimedia art, including mosaics, using 100 plus-year-old barn roof shingles, shells, stones, beads, wood, glass and mirror.

 


Katharine Cosenza Butler
Katharine Cosenza Butler is a painter and printmaker specializing in land and seascapes and both indoor and outdoor still-life. Her subject matter is taken from natural settings of the dramatic Maine Coast, the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast and from her travels every year. Her mediums are watercolor and printmaking. Aside from one print made from a selected painting each year, all her work is one-of-a-kind and original. Her printmaking techniques are exclusively monoprint, and thus each is also original and one-of-a-kind.

 


Carolyn Caldwell
Serene pastel landscapes and dynamic figures of Caribbean characters. Gallery at 433 South Deer Isle Road, Deer Isle, Maine.


 


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
“I have been a photographer for more years than I care to think about. However, I haven't lost my love for making great images. That and my love for bluegrass music have combined to produce the images that you will see on my website.”



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

 

 


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.

 

 


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.”

 


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.”

 


Judith Ingram
Judith Ingram is a multi-media artist who does free-standing sculpture and 2D and 3D wall pieces.

 


June Kellogg
“My paintings are about the ineffable creative spirit. They depict people in creative pursuits and are intended to celebrate the dedication, self-discipline and hard work that it takes to be an artist.”

 

Diane Kirk

Diane Kirk’s watercolors are influenced by her life long love of nature and the natural beauty that surrounds her. Sharing her time between the islands of the Caribbean and Down East, Maine, she is inspired by the ever changing moods of the sea, sun and sky which she captures in a defused relaxed style. In contrast, her bird and flower studies explode with color.

 


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.”

 


Christina Maile
“My monoprints are created using litho inks, run through an etching press. They mostly deal with  vanished moments  of the natural world,  the elusive and broken memories of it so strong, its as if they really existed.”

 


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.

 

 


Penelope Plumb
Non-traditional equine art suggesting human condition and emotion, while staying true to the essence and spirit of the horse.

 


Judy Rader
Judy is an oil painter specializing in landscape and still life. Her paintings depict a keen interest in reflected color.

 


Jane Rosinski

Suzanne Spain

"This is a water color entitled "Street Service."  I live in  Pennsylvania and have summered on Deer Isle since 1993, where I began to paint.  I like to paint from the photos of foreign travel I have enjoyed as well as scenes of Deer Isle."
 


Geoffrey Warner
“I have been building custom furniture and cabinetry since 1982.  As a designer, I enjoy working with my customers to interpret their dreams into unique finished pieces.  Beautiful wood, furniture and paintings are on display at our new shop and gallery, Geoffrey Warner Studio, located at 43 North Main Street, Route 15, just before the town of Stonington.”

 

 


John Wilkinson
“Most of my work is figurative, at least to the extent of including a figure.  Materials used are plasters, concrete, epoxy resin/fiberglass, wood.  My studio at 41 Church Street, Deer Isle, is open year-round.”

Jacqueline S. Wilson
“ I have previously worked with watercolor, pen and ink, and drypoint, but wanted to return to an old favorite of mine:  woodcut printmaking; I enjoy cutting into the wood, working with balsa wood, poplar and pine. the print when pulled for the first time is always an event, particularly thrilling to me.   I work from inspiration of subject matter in my near world;  plants and animals and use these as a channel to depict particular expressiveness.”
