Women’s History Month 2021 Gallery

Lindsay Hopkins-Weld

Cold Spring
12″x12″  oil on birch panel
$900

“I find solace in nature and due to Covid, I have been spending more time walking and looking.  I have a BFA from the Museum School in Boston, MA. I am a seasonal resident on MDI and live in Scarborough, ME. ” www.lhweld.com


Linda Rowell-Kelley

Kelley Community Garden
16×16 oil on panel
$260

“Island quarantine meant using the resources available and MDI provided beautiful, luscious places to plein air paint. The community garden was ever changing and offered a bounty of shape and color. A local island artist, working in oil, watercolor and mixed medium. My home base and studio is in Hulls Cove and I am fortunate to be able to safely explore the island for inspiration.” Linda Rowell-Kelley Art on Facebook


Elizabeth Keenan

Loose Leaf Lips
14″X 18″ (framed) Watercolor

“I’ve been painting A LOT during the pandemic. It is helping me to pass the time. I live in Bass Harbor and have been teaching Drawing, Painting, and Ceramics at MDI high School for over 20 years.”


Vicky Smith

Peggy’s Cows
12″ x 14″ Oil Painting
$175

Outdoor activities are the best way to stay safe . Our Plein Air Group has been a gift. Painting and socializing!

I have come to painting in the second half of my life. Grateful for the inspiration and support of the painting women in PAPA, Plein Air Painting Artists.


Beverly Bono

Winter on Babson Creek
9” x 11” (framed) watercolor
$50

Plein air painting (in the open air) with friends ( masked and socially distant) has made this year bearable. Cold weather made it prohibitive to paint outside in oils so I started painting with watercolors on site, but in my warm car. This painting is one of my 1st “in car” paintings.
Although I’ve been painting all my life, about 10 years ago I began painting “en plein air”. Living in Bar Harbor, near Acadia National Park provides boundless stimulation for my oil paintings. I’m on a wonderfully endless journey trying to capture the beautiful scenery of this island! 

Jean Forbes

Sorrento Dinghies
10.25″ x 12.25″ matted and framed watercolor
$200

“The recent life changing circumstances have given me more focus to fine tune my craft. Sorrento Dinghies is the 2nd in a series of three paintings done to obtain desired harmony in the 3rd (larger) watercolor painting.”

Jean E. Forbes is a Fine Artist with over 50 years painting experience. She retired from teaching art in South Kingstown RI public schools in 2012. Jean lives with her husband Mike in Manset where they make their year round home. www.jeanforbesart.com

Sydney Roberts

Church Chair Woman
46” x 15” x 18”  multimedia
$250

“Although I submitted it last year, it was welcomed this year because it wasn’t “seen” by other than library staff.”

A NEH summer kid from Philadelphia from age 3 weeks, (year-round for 20 + years), graduate of Philadelphia College of Art (Now U Arts) ’66: painting/sculpture/graphics.


Kathie Pratt and Christine Parrish

Sweet Liberty
40″ x 25″  acrylic on foam core

NFS

“This sign is a collaboration by lifelong friends with a desire for social action.  Christine created the concept and Kathie executed it.  The goal was a sign that would be impactful, visible from near and far, and functional.  Christine carried it at the Black Lives Matter March in Augusta last summer.”

Kathie Pratt happily lives and works in Tremont. Art is her favorite thing. Christine Parrish is a writer, journalist, and natural resource conservation specialist who lives in Lincolnville.  Her connection to the island began as a teenager, when she and Kathie departed from their family homes to live a rustic lifestyle on the back side.  Decades later, she stays connected by hiking the hills of Acadia.
