Information About the Maine Artists in This Gallery:
Renee Lammers – Bucksport, ME (web)
Painter
"Castine's British Canal" | Oil on Copper | 6"X6"
Artist Statement: Renee Lammers was inspired from a visit to the Boston Museum of Fine Art to begin painting with oils on copper panels. In this museum were two oil paintings on copper dating back to the 1500's. Lammers was dazzled by the flawless crack free surface of these paintings and also loved how the copper gleamed under the oil paint. After "Copper as a Canvas", Lammers discovered archival properties copper metal had. The thermal coefficient of expansion of the copper metal is almost identical to the oil paint—when the temperatures change, the copper panel and oil paint expand and contract together. Leonardo Di Vinci thought that copper was the most perfect substrate and wondered why more painters didn't use it. --Renee Lammers

David Sturdevant – Belfast, ME
Painter
"Christmas Cove - Monhegan" | Oil on Canvas | 12"X16"
Artist Statement: "Recently, I received a sudden and painful reminder that life is short. With every waking moment, I have a choice to do what I have been doing right along or I can do more with my life and really appreciate the people and places surrounding me. I have a renewed awareness that time is too short to stay between the lines—to always watch where I am going—to abide by all of the rules. I have a greater appreciation for life, and my paintings are often of those moments when I am moved the most—those moments when I am most thankful to be alive. I hope my paintings inspire people to stop looking where they are going all the time and instead to spend more time admiring the limited magnificent sights and moments we have all around us. Cheers!" -- David J. Sturdevant

Ellen Thayer – South Portland, ME (web)
Painter
"Reflection Rockland Harbor" | Oil on Canvas | 18"X24"
Artist Statement: "Boating, sailing, and kayaking the coast of Maine over the last 25 years has allowed me to explore Maine's breathtaking archipelago on many occasions. As a meteorologist, I am particularly drawn to the vast colors of the water resulting from fluctuations in light, weather conditions, and the environment. When capturing the fluidity of these reflections with oil on canvas or baltic birch, I'm instantly transported back to the serene scenes in which they were observed." --Ellen Thayer

Dianna Rust – Camden, ME (web)
Photographer
"Capricornus #12" | Cyanotype Printed on Fabriano Aristico Paper | 12"X18"
Artist Statement: "Whatever camera or means I use to capture my images, from a homemade hatbox pinhole to a modern scanner, I am fascinated by how what is mirrored back is no longer a literal interpretation. I find this ability of photography to transform, to create and discover mysteries, part of the magic of the whole process. It is about making the ordinary extraordinary. It is about waking up the senses. In addition, I have long been drawn to the simplicity and beauty of making prints using historical processes, such as platinum, salt, and cyanotype, on fine art papers. My prints are very much about the work of the hand, and each one is unique." --Dianna Rust
