“Unbeaten Channels,” at the DIAA Gallery

“Unbeaten Channels,” the latest show by the Deer Isle Artists Association Gallery, will be on display at the Association’s Main Street Gallery from June 17 through June 30.

Appearing in this show are Emily Brett Lukens, Mary Eaton, Judith Felch, Leslie Miller Landrigan, Jerry Levitt, William Lukens, David McBeth, Carolyn Walton, and Hub White. Work by Mary Bracy Martin, Jacqueline Davidson, Tracy Van Buskirk is in the art rack.

Jerry Levitt divides his time between Deer Isle and Philadelphia.  He states that he prefers to keep his lens turned to nature and utilizes his camera to capture “the changing light of coastal New England in all seasons and those ephemeral moments when the fog begins to lift, the snow sparkles, and the setting sun turns the forest ablaze with color.”

Also calling both Philadelphia and Deer Isle home, Emily Brett Lukens and William Lukens will have work displayed in this show. Emily notes that she concentrates upon texture in her designs, utilizing collage, oil paint stick, acrylic, graphite and sand.  She likes to produce a series of 4 or 5 images related to one subject. When these images are hung together, they present a common theme that emphasizes her printmaking background. William Lukens, who many may recognize primarily as a painter, will be displaying some of his block prints in this show.

The public is cordially invited to an opening reception with the artists, which will be held on Sunday, June 19, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. The Deer Isle Artists Association Gallery is located at 15 Main Street in Deer Isle Village, and is open from 10:00 AM – 6:00PM daily. (207) 348-2330.
