Faran Riley Peterson, “Garden.”

Midsummer at New Era brings together the works of ceramic artist David Peterson, drawing artist Faran Riley Peterson and photographer Ron Rosenstock from July 17 to Aug. 3.

David Peterson, whose ceramic boats are known and loved by many, has branched out into some new territory this season with a group of sgraffitoed ceramic tablets inspired by the story of Moby Dick and the illustrations of Rockwell Kent.

Faran Riley Peterson joins the gallery in what we hope is the first of many shows, with her luminous and intricate pen and ink drawings of the coastal environs of her native Georgia and Vinalhaven.

Ron Rosenstock is this year’s recipient of the North American Nature Photographers Association prize for Fine Art Nature Photography. Ron has traveled the world, searching out the most magical places–including the island of Vinalhaven, where he has photographed and led photography workshops for 30 years.

New Era Gallery is at 60 Main St., Vinalhaven. Call 207-863-9351 for more information.
