People-Nature-Art with Amy Pollien

Description

Bar Harbor artist Amy Pollien kicks off the 2025 People-Nature-Art series at the Gilley. Her work is based on close observation of local plants, wildlife, and geology, as well as weather, time of day, and season. These elements are combined based on a consistent interval, or module, of closed forms and a limited color palette. Her goal is to make a cohesive impression of the nearly overwhelming detail of her visual experience at a particular place and point in time. Look for trout swirling around a vase of dahlias at Echo Lake in the image here. And join us to discover more about this artist and her work. There will be a 6pm artist's reception followed by a 7pm program that will be simultaneously livecast on Zoom. All are free, but registration is required. People-Nature-Art is a monthly series that brings artists, writers, carvers, and creative types of all kinds to the Gilley to explore how nature and art interact in their work, and how their art impacts their own approach to nature.
