“SUMMER ISLAND” BY KIMBERLY SKILLIN TRAINA
The three artists currently have work on display at Damariscotta River Grill — and each piece of art is inspired by the Midcoast.
Artists Kimberly Skillin Traina, Susan Tilton Pecora and Doug Houle will exhibit their work through Sept.11.
Skillin Traina is a graphic designer, photographer and pastel artist living in Edgecomb.
“I have a passionate love affair with color,” she said. “Painting with soft pastels allows me to work with my fingers mixing pure pigment on paper, layering colors, feeling the medium as the magic of the moment unfolds.”
“INSIDE OUT” BY SUSAN TILTON PECORA
“I synthesize the world through drawing and painting, always have,” she said. “I take a sketchbook with me wherever I go, then work the sketches into finished paintings in the studio. I have always been attracted to the wildly diverse nature of Maine. There is enough subject matter in one square mile of this State to keep me busy for a lifetime.”
Pecora exhibits and sells her work through galleries and art associations throughout the country and is a signature member of The New England Watercolor Society.
“AFTERNOON CLOUDS” BY DOUG HOULE
“Through my painting I have chosen to highlight the architecture of small town New England,” he said. “I am drawn to the charm and nostalgia around old homes and barns, store fronts, and light houses. Whether the places are frequently visited or passed by, they surround a town’s people, giving recognition to the historical relevance they have in our communities. I like to create a mood in my paintings that will remind you of a time gone by, and light and color are crucial for these pieces.”
