TENANTS HARBOR Jackson Memorial Library, 71 Main Street, Tenants Harbor, will host an exhibition of paintings by artists Lauren Gill and Lydia Kaeyer. The show begins July 20 and runs through August 6.
Lauren Gill’s genres vary from the beautiful landscapes and seascapes that surround all of us here on the Midcoast daily to still life’s, abstracts and pet portraits. She works in oils, watercolors and acrylics. Her time is split between her studio in Tenants Harbor and her Florida home, where she shows her work as a member of the Art Center of Bonita Springs. Lauren’s work has been shown locally at Art Space Gallery in Rockland and Art of the See in South Thomaston.

Roger Barry, a woodworker and artist, whose work is currently showing at Art Space Gallery in Rockland, has a connection to trees that goes back to his great-grandfather, the publisher of
, a book of tables figuring lumber costs. Both his grandfather and father worked in the lumber milling business and it’s from his father, that Barry learned the craft of woodworking.
“I grew up hanging around my father’s shop,” said Barry. “He was a woodworker, sculptor, and architect.”
