Rockport this Saturday?
The CHROMA show featuring six midcoast fine art photographers and installed in the gorgeous Cider Barn at Carver Hill Gallery in Rockport closes on Saturday (June 13). The show was co-curated by Jana Halwick, Director of Carver Hill Gallery and myself. Three midcoast artists are included in the contemporary artist stable at VoxPhotographs and I wanted to get their work out there on their home turf.
The show opened May 2 but ends this Saturday, June 13, so plan a trip there to top off your week.

The three artists selected by Jana Halwick for CHROMA are Cig Harvey, Tom McConnell and Sarah Szwajkos. VoxPhotographs is represented by Susan Guthrie, Jim Nickelson and Liv Kristin Robinson and their individual webgalleries can be found at www.voxphotographs.com.
Carver Hill Gallery is pretty unique and it’s time to spent an enjoyable hour there if you haven’t already done so. Located just a hop, skip and a jump off Route 90 in Rockport and about 15 seconds from Camden downtown, the gallery is full of surprises and high end ones at that. Besides this photography show, you’ll find custom furniture, fabric, ceramics and glass, and paintings and more photography in the cape part of the gallery.
But the midcoast area is also hosting several other truly memorable exhibits, so a nice day spent there looking at great art, eating excellent food on the waterfronts of Camden, Rockport and Rockland would be kind of a dream come true, don’t you think?
CMCA (Center for Maine Contemporary Art) in Rockport has another photography exhibit ending this Saturday (6/13) – On and Off the Midway, curated by Bruce Brown and written about in this blog earlier. In the main floor gallery is a restrospective of paintings by my esteemed husband Linden Frederick: YOU ARE HERE – Paintings and Studies.(Yes, after 37 years together, I DO have bragging rights! -wow, are we old!!)
And at the FARNSWORTH ART MUSEUM is the very exciting new body of work by Jamie Wyeth - Seven Deadly Sins. We went to the members’ opening, but I can not WAIT to get back into that gallery and study these amazing paintings with hopefully fewer people in front of me!

Our best friend, Glenn Priestley of Fredericton, NB, who Linden met at art college (Ontario College of Art) in the 70′s (holy moses- we are really so old!!) will be visiting us this weekend. Guess where we’re headed on Saturday? You got it. See you there. Join us for lunch?
(Glenn Priestley – keep an eye out for him this weekend in the vicinity of Rockport-Rockland… we’ll be tagging along.)
