March Artist-in-Residence

Nicoletta Siccone

 

Nicoletta Siccone, artist and art educator, will be in residence for March. Nicoletta is a multifaceted artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, jewelry and glass. She regularly exhibits her zipper jewelry, gyotaku, and sumi-e at DIAA.

Nicoletta will explore color by creating natural pigment inks for art and calligraphy. As a sumi-e artist, she sees this as a natural extension of her current practice of grinding inksticks on stone. Using materials collected around the Deer Isle peninsula and beyond, she is excited to see this ink-making process inspire a new body of work. 

 

The gallery will be open to the public Tuesday–Friday, 10 AM–3 PM.
Please stop in to say hello whenever the OPEN flag is flying.
