Points of View Artists open their season with Sheer Madness
All 15 members of Points of View Artists are represented in the season-opening exhibit, Sheer Madness.
This group show aims to capture the wild, whimsical and sometimes wacky world of art. Many of the pieces will be primarily nonobjective works that make no direct reference to anything in the visible, exterior or physical world and speak metaphorically and poetically.
Japanese Scene- Craig Snapp
Or, they may just be kind of crazy, fun pieces. Having been trapped inside the studio through Winter’s cold and snow, art is bursting forth in all its glory and leading the way into Spring.
Nether World- Judith Long
Sheer Madness will be on exhibit from May 6 to May 31. Come join us for the opening reception and celebrate the start of our 2013 season.
Mad Harbor- Tim Banks
Opening reception: Friday, May 10, 5 to 8 pm

Jennifer Litchfield’s Maine Landscapes at Summer Island Studio during the month of May
Jennifer Litchfield has been living and painting in coastal Maine for the past 16 years. Originally from Australia, where she pursued a medical career in Sydney for 20 years, Litchfield moved to the United States in 1994 after meeting and marrying her American husband.
Art has always been one of her great loves and she took the opportunity of her new life to develop her passion for painting, drawing and color. Over the past 16 years Litchfield has studied painting with a number of fine teachers.
What excites her now is working in either oils, acrylics or pastels exploring abstract and semi abstract design based on and inspired by aspects of landscape, as well as painting more realistically. She likes to go back and forth between the different mediums and find that each one informs the other.
For many summers she and her husband have cruised the Maine coast. So much of the inspiration for her paintings comes from those wonderful journeys, wandering through the islands, observing the ever-changing light, patterns on water, rocks and the beauty of the shorelines.

Lonie Ellis- Summer Island Studio’s Featured Artist for October
Local Artist Lonie Laffely Ellis will be showing at Summer Island Studio – Gallery of Fine Artisans the month of October. Artist Reception and Open House will be held on October 12 the night of the 2ndFriday Artwalk. Wine, cheese and horsdoerves will be served from 5pm to 8pm.
Lonie Laffely Ellis is a local Maine artist born in Brunswick Maine. She works in several different mediums but for the past 2 years has spent much of her studio time exploring encaustic painting.
Lonie is employed at Woodside Elementary School in Topsham, where among other things, she shares her love of art to budding young artist through her Open Studio program. Lonie is also employed by Bowdoin College to teach classes at their Craft Center and to assist other artists in hanging their works at the various galleries around the campus.
My path through life has often incorporated a creative element. Creating is what feeds my spirit and awakens my senses. To me, everything is an element of design that can teach you something. Being curious is part of being an artist and I like the freedom and challenges of expressing what is around me in my art. Nature is a great teacher, and I enjoy discovering the outdoors in every season.
This past summer I have so enjoyed the window boxes on Main Street in Brunswick and the various gardens around the area. Encaustic painting has allowed me to capture their beauty and vibrant colors. I hope you enjoy this garden walk.

Kigel’s signature piece, The Dragon Sleeps, depicts the Great Wall at Badaling, China, winding through the autumn mist. The vermilion and sienna hues announce the close of the summer season.
Kigel’s other paintings follow the autumnal theme by depicting the American crow calling out the change of season, hummingbirds tasting the last of summer’s nectar, golden orchids fading into pools of aqua mist, and the sun setting over Maine islands. For everything there is a season. But when winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Award-winning artist Kigel specializes in watercolor and Asian brush painting. Her works have been widely exhibited in museum, university and private galleries, and have been reviewed in the Boston Globe and the Maine Sunday Telegram.
