Art Space Gallery invites you to the September “Arts in Rockland” first Friday art walk. We will be hanging a new show in our front room. Please stop by and join us for wine, refreshments and meet our artists on Friday, September 2nd, from 5 to 8 pm. This reception will feature the work of Nancy Davies Tang, Laurie Bellmore, Jean Byrd and Barbara Dulac.
Nature offers boundless inspiration in form and color. She stills the mind and soothes the soul, and if you are lucky will whisper in your ear and play the muse. Nancy Davies Tang looks to her garden, fields, forests and the sea for inspiration to create works of art in kiln fired glass and dichroic glass jewelry. Largely self-taught, Nancy has been working with warm glass for over 20 years. She has a background in painting and sculpture and strives to bring all her experience to her work in warm glass.
Glass is an ancient, magical material with endless possibilities. Dichroic glass is a material that would be impossible without modern technology. The combination of ancient techniques, modern technology and the artistry of nature is where Nancy’s passion blooms. Water is vital to our existence and the inspiration for the work in this month’s opening focuses on this vital element.
Laurie Lofman Bellmore is a native of mid-coast Maine, living in the area all of her life. Her art includes painting, photography and hand crafted kiln fired jewelry. Currently she is working on fine silver art jewelry pieces adorned with colorful enamels and glass, which will be on display at Art Space Gallery for this show. Her topics include colorful flowers, fish and abstract designs.
Jean Byrd is an oil painter whose style is best described as realistic, with an impressionist influence. Her subject matter is coastal New England and her latest paintings are of the Penobscot Bay Area. As one of the featured artists at Art Space Gallery this month, she will show her painting of “Devil’s Island”, which is a favorite spot of hers. It is located off Stonington in “Merchant’s Row”. Other paintings included in the exhibit are “Vinalhaven Passage”, “Steps to the Sea” and “Marshall Point Light”.
Barbara Dulac became an artist, first as a child, then a wife, a mother and grandmother. Her graduate, post-graduate education and a corporate professional career were woven through out many, many years. Her life and soul learned and developed creative interests, through dreams, spirituality and family. Color everywhere, mystical music, dreams and intuition always prompt her consciousness to create and fully express her perspective.
Art Space Gallery is located at 342 Main Street across from the Strand Theater in Rockland. The gallery features works by nineteen artists who work in various media and genres. September hours are Monday through Saturday 11 am to 6 pm and Sundays 1 am to 6 pm. Visit our website for more information at www.artspacemaine.com or join us on Facebook for up to date gallery news.

The Turtle Gallery is proud to represent potter Tim Christensen. Christensen works in porcelain because it endures.
