For the months of April & May, we are very happy to host the works of Matthew Barter, Brian Emerson, & Brent Anders.
We welcome Matt Barter, currently of Richmond, Maine. Matt is showing paintings on board and canvas. These pieces focus on iconic Downeast images and the stories of the people who live here told in bold, bright colors and a homegrown primitive style. We are so glad to hang his work.
We are very happily showing new works by Brian Emerson of Portland. Brian’s paintings on board and canvas pop with an exuberant abstract style that sings the joy of the moment. Reflective garden discoveries and seaside musings are portrayed with seemingly carefree strokes and saturated colors. We love supporting Brian’s work.
Brent Anders is an artist new to the Wine Cellar Gallery, and we are excited to host his work. Brent resides in our own fair Ellsworth. His pieces are exacted with such realism, one is impelled to step closer for a better look. Maine wildlife and classically illustrated lighthouses are rendered with colored pencil, pastels, & watercolors. We are delighted to welcome Brent to our gallery.
An opening of this show is planned in conjunction with a wine tasting for Friday, May 5th, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. Please join us.
Please visit the Wine Cellar Art Gallery. We are open daily. Contact 207-667-9377 or johnedwardsmarket.com

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

Into this material, he carves the stories of living now: the chaos that surrounds us, the tenderness that saves us, the moments of […]
