November Artist: Katrina Linscott

By

During the month of November, the Bass Harbor Memorial Library welcomes artworks created by Katrina Linscott. Dates for a recepetion will be announced.
 
In addition to teaching French at the Tremont School, Katrina enjoys creating art, including jewelry, collage, and watercolors. Seven years ago, she put the those endeavors aside and devoted her creative free time to illustrating and writing a book, “Disco and Me/Disco et moi.”  She saw a need for stories that ignite curiosity about the places, culture, and language of the Francophone world, written at a novice to intermediate level. She has always loved colored pencil, in part because of reading and loving Leo Leoni’s illustrations in “Fish is Fish” as a child.  The illustrations in “Disco et Moi” are done with Prismacolor Soft Core pencils. She lives on Mount Desert Island. Please visit us to see Katrina’s artwork, which will be on display at the library through the end of the month.

 



October Artist: Liz Cutler

By

During the month of October, the Bass Harbor Memorial Library welcomes artworks created by Liz Cutler. A closing reception brunch will be held on Saturday, October 29 from 11am-1pm.
 
Liz is a founder of ArtWaves, a community arts center in Bar Harbor, where she continues her practice through figure drawing, teaching, workshops, conversational critiques, and working in her personal studio at the Bar Harbor Municipal building. Her artwork is expressed in a variety of media primarily oil painting, including glass, fiber, and printmaking. Recently she has been exploring transcribing a painting through a variety of media: using dyed wool to create tapestries, stained glass for mosaics, and adding in some monochromatic printing. She finds moving an image through a variety of media informs her painting practice, encouraging exploration and re-presenting her spaces, both inner and physical. 
 
Liz graduated with a BA in Painting from Swain School of Design including a year at Worcester Art Museum School and Boston Museum of Fine Arts and recently a Masters from Heartwood College of Art. Liz is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists, Fiber Arts Network and Maine Crafts Association. Liz is currently the Executive Director of ArtWaves and enjoys her studio time with students.
