Three artists present their perspective on three very distinctive locals in the mid-summer exhibitions now on view at Old York’s George Marshall Store Gallery.

Nina Jerome, from Bangor Maine, is well known for her views of the Maine coast and lakes. In this showing , however, called “Land Marks – On the Move,” she is intrigued by more urban landscapes including aerial views of Boston and New York. Jerome teaches at the University of Maine in Orono and understands the importance of drawing as a practice.  Besides finished paintings, her exhibit includes a number of large charcoal drawings.

“Diana’s Baths” is the focus of Lincoln Perry’s exhibition. The artist is intrigued by the beautiful cascading waterfalls in Bartlett, New Hampshire and by the myths that surround the Goddess Diana’s for which the area is named. Perry ‘s show consists of four very large canvases surrounded by dozens of small oil pastel and gouache studies.

Photographer Alexandra de Steiguer exhibits twelve images in “Starkness and Light: The Isles of Shoals in Winter” representing the isolated islands where she has been the winter caretaker for nearly two decades. Her process is one of delayed exposure, to use a photographic term. While on the Island she shoots with film and doesn’t know what she has captured until she returns to the mainland in the Spring and prints them using traditional techniques.

Lincoln Perry will give a gallery talk on Sunday, August 7 at 3 p.m. The exhibitions continue through August 21. Gallery hours are 10-5 Tuesday through Saturday and 1-5 on Sunday. 140 Lindsay Road, York, Maine. www.georgemarshallstoregallery.com
