Caren-Marie Michel: Edges and Views
In-house gallery solo show
August 20-September 16 Artist's Reception Saturday, August 25, 4-6 pm
Caren-Marie Sargent Michel was born in Portland, Maine, and is a lifelong Maine resident. Her work explores the urban, industrial, and pastoral images of Maine and documents the ever-changing landscape in paint. Michel is a devoted plein air painter working in acrylic and pastel on locations all over Maine and New Brunswick, Canada. Michel often portrays a location through series capturing different seasons or times of day with changing light and color. Michel is Past President of the Pastel Painters of Maine and past Treasurer of the Union of Maine Visual Artists.
I travel around Maine to paint what I see and experience in the landscape: to see color and to paint it.
