Sidle House Gallery in Freeport, Maine, opens its 2026 season with a solo exhibition titled “Anne Hebebrand: A World That Is,” on view from May 1 through June 13. The show features cold-wax and oil paintings created over the past seven years, described by the artist as intuitive maps of memory. Related events include an opening reception, an artist talk, a cold wax and oil workshop, and a violin performance by Katherine Liccardo.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the work of a painter whose practice balances intuition and formal investigation, and who has exhibited widely in the U.S. and Mexico, with features in the New York Times and other publications. The show also underscores the role of small regional galleries like Sidle House in presenting thoughtful, process-driven abstraction to local audiences.
