Dianne Dolan and Bev Walker are relatively recent members of the Pemaquid Art Gallery. Both have a primary interest in interpretive color in the landscape, with either simplified or abstracted forms rather than specific geographical depiction.
Dianne Dolan, in her third season at the Pemaquid Art Gallery, received an art education that enabled her to teach art, and to paint and show her work. for 20 years. Although she also paints in her studio, based on memory and reflection, she has become particularly motivated to paint plein air, on location on the Pemaquid peninsula, during the warm months. Dolan’s work reflects the coastal landscape interpreted primarily in oil, with a particular interest in color, interpreted through the eyes of an artist rather than a photographer. The beauty of the local environment is evident in her interpreted landscapes. More of her work may be seen at www.diannedolan.com.
Bev Walker is a Maine native who has spent much of her adult life in Michigan, where she received her art education and for many years pursued a career in interior design. Her work has been shown in Michigan, Florida, and in various Maine locations. She served on the board of the Ann Arbor Women Artists, with a membership of over 200, and in 1999 co-founded the WSG Gallery in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her work at the Pemaquid Art Gallery reflects local subject matter: trees, water, barns, fishing shacks, taken as elements that reveal her interest in abstraction, composition, and color. Samples of her paintings also can be seen at www.bevwalkerart.com.
