Savory Maine Dining and Provisions in Damariscotta is exhibiting the oil paintings of Waldoboro artist Brooke Pacy through Sept. 26.
Before coming to Maine with her husband 15 years ago, Pacy studied classical drawing and painting in Baltimore with Elizabeth Byrd Mitchell, whose technique and use of color and light had a profound influence on her work, Pacy said.
“ There are moments when light picks out the shape of an ordinary thing: a flower — a headland — a table and chair silhouetted in a window — and invests it with character and a history. Those moments suggest an ongoing story and make me happy to be part of it. I try to catch them in paint.”
Currently, Pacy paints with a group led by Katharina Keoughan. Her paintings have appeared in juried shows at River Arts, the Coastal Maine Botanical
Gardens and the Boothbay Region Art Foundation, as well as in solo exhibits at the Waldoboro and Skidompha libraries, The Bakery and the River Grill in Damariscotta and the Miles Memorial Hospital Gallery.
The exhibit at Savory Maine will continue through Sept. 26. The public is invited to a reception to meet the artist on Friday from 3-5 p.m.
Savory Maine is located at 11 Water St. in Damariscotta. For more information call (207) 563- 2111, ‘like’ Savory Maine on Facebook, or visit savorymainedining.com.
