Marguerite Ogden – Hallowell, ME (web)
Printmaker & Painter
"Prelude" | Collagraph/Monotype Paper | 15"X20"
Artist Statement: "I started to create monotypes when I discovered that the complexities I enjoyed as a painter could be combined with the unexpected pleasures of printmaking. Each new print begins with a feeling of playfulness as I invariably choose the lightest colors to flood the plate. After the first few layers I react to this image. While the paper is beautiful, it lacks depth and strength. Playfulness now gives way to structure as I make critical decisions about additional layers. My drawings, paintings and printmaking represent the stages of my life, what I have gone through, the people and places who have influenced me. My work shows emotional themes common to many people – frustrations, doubts and on the other side – joyfulness and fulfillment. The layering and choices of colors express the different emotions I go through during the printing process. My current work conveys the breaking of boundaries, the struggling and the overcoming of obstacles as my journey evolves." --Marguerite Ogden

Anna Ruth Griffin – Portland, ME (web)
Sculptor
Spike" | Mixed Media | 2''X1"
Artist Statement: "The direction my work has taken recently has been one of expressive, organic forms juxtaposed with rich, textural details. The material choices I make are to emphasize the incredible nature of the insects that I use as inspiration. Beads, hardware, nails, tacks, cloth, string and a variety of other choices are made to celebrate the brilliance and natural detail of these bugs. I am drawn to sculpture rather than two-dimensional mediums to depict these creatures because I believe the material presence makes them come alive more so than painting or drawing would. I consider these abstracted insects to be a celebration of the creatures that we walk over every day and the distortions that they take on in our minds. My sculptures are exaggerations and distortions of the common insect. The bright shiny beads emphasize their beauty while the tacks and nails reiterate the qualities that terrify us. These forms appear to be crawling and congregating on the walls in a whimsical fashion that is meant to both horrify and excite the audience." --Anna Ruth Griffin
