Local artist Roz Davis is set to debut her solo exhibition, "Paintings of Whimsy," at the MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital hall gallery in Damariscotta. Running from May 2 through June 28, the show features a collection of paintings and mixed media works that transform everyday subjects—such as donuts, candies, and footwear—into playful, narrative-driven compositions.
Diana Young, a nearly 90-year-old artist who has been painting for over 80 years, presents her new exhibition "So Happy You Came" at Gold/Smith Gallery in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, from June 18 to July 21. The show features her latest works in acrylic and tempera, which emphasize motion, line, and dynamic interlocking shapes rather than realism, inspired by outdoor locations and her profound sense of place. A reception will be held on June 21.
