Miles Memorial Hospital Hall Gallery is featuring paintings and collages by Alna artist Jon Luoma, through Nov. 3 in a show entitled “Lands and Waters.”

Luoma is well known for his stunning watercolor and Chinese ink landscapes of Maine’s coast, forests, and wildlife, as well as some from beyond our borders. The show includes many of these works, and also provides a opportunity to see a more playful side of Luoma’s work in mixed media, collage, and color woodcut.

His work has been shown in many Midcoast venues, including recent one-person shows in Belfast and Rockland.  “I am delighted to show my work in Damariscotta and pleased that a portion of the sales price will benefit Miles Memorial Hospital,” said Luoma.

Luoma studied traditional Chinese ink painting in Chengdu, Sichuan, China in 2006.  His original illustrations for a limited letterpress edition of Thoreau’s The Maine Woods are in the collection of the Portland Museum of Art; the book and its illustrations were exhibited in 2012 as part of the exhibition “Maine Sublime: Frederick Edwin Church’s Landscapes of Mount Desert and Mount Katahdin.”

Two of his paintings of Baxter State Park are reproduced in “Art of Katahdin” by David Little (Downeast Books, 2013).

The Hall Gallery at Miles Memorial Hospital is located at 35 Miles St., Damariscotta, in the main entrance of the hospital, open 24 hours a day.
