The Art of Living
February 24, 2025
From the moment the "dream books" began arriving on Steven's doorstep, he knew he was destined to have at least one piece of furniture from Thos. Moser. What started as one piece has grown into a collection of furniture that has become the stars of his family's home.

Eric Hopkins
February 11, 2025
With the eyes of an artist, the words of a poet, and the mind of a scientist, Eric Hopkins has engaged numerous people through his art and with his thoughts about life on this Big Blue Planet. He captures the dynamic forces and rhythms of nature in watercolors, oils, blown glass, mixed media, and photography. His vision focuses on the Big Picture of the natural world, geological and geographical forms, and the exchange of energy between Earth, Water, and Sky. From this intimate study of nature, Eric has developed a keen awareness of light, form, color, and pattern, which is reflected in all of his work.

Traveling gives artists a chance to experiment with new mediums, approaches and colors. I have been lucky to repeatedly visit Great Guana Cay, a small island in the Northern Bahamas. Over 60 years the island has changed dramatically, but the ocean colors, fascinating botany and undersea life of the Caribbean continue to be a wonderful inspiration for art.

Living near the ocean, I am constantly aware of the elements. My current work is an exploration of this environment: the interaction of land, sea and sky. The relentless cycle of the tides and the sea’s ever changing moods serve as inspiration. I try to capture the physical and emotional energy which surrounds me.

My painting in France over the years stems from having lived in Normandy and Paris for three years when I was a teenager and the many extended stays through my adult life, including painting workshops in the last ten years. I was always drawn to the age of the landscape: land that had been worked and lived in for thousands of years

For all the years I've lived in Maine, I have always had a sense of Canada being at my back. It has felt like a place of refuge and safety, especially its forest, coastlines, and lakes, emanating a natural peace. So much of what I've been drawn to has been the wilderness, trees and shadows, long mountain trails to cold and transparent waters. The continuing presence of First Nation tribes, French settlers, and the persevering English, and their names across the Canadian maps, all speak to me of a welcoming warmth. And centuries of Canadian art, from Arctic carvings and Pacific Northwest totem poles, to work by the Group of Seven painters to more recent painters, inspire me to carry on with my painting.

Travel nourished a lifetime habit of drawing and sketching. In Algiers in 2009 I began a course of self-study in drawing, perspective, and color. That led to watercolors. I love the translucent quality of the medium and the constant challenge of turning sudden developments into opportunity. My paintings reflect what I see as essential about a given subject and tend to the semi-abstract.

Strong composition, rhythm, gesture, pattern, energy, power of place and soul are also primary concerns. Each of these paintings has a story and a distinct reason for being chosen as a painting site.

Olga Merrill
February 6, 2025
Olga Merrill is an award-winning Maine based visual artist primarily using the medium of photography. She uses photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of her vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality. Her artworks are essentially representative photography of the world around her that nevertheless dissolves into the wonder of abstract patterns and together with well planned color palettes reflect her vision, dreams and feelings.
