Left, “Hard Candy”; right, “Copper Dome.”

In this year of Maine’s bicentennial, artist Charlie Hewitt has created a new series of woodcut prints focused on New England’s strong bond with the sea in his solo exhibition at Cove Street Arts in Portland.

In his dynamic, imaginative and unmistakable style, Hewitt reimagines iconic regional sights — shining lighthouses; brightly colored, numbered buoys — grounding the series in human industry while reminding us of the ineffable power, beauty and peril of the sea.

The series consists of 15 prints, each limited to an edition of 20. Each was printed by master printer David Wolfe at Wolfe Editions.
