In addition to this month’s regular members’ exhibit, Boothbay Region Art Foundation (BRAF) is sponsoring two solo shows in the upstairs area.

Gallery One features the memorial show, “Carol Jessen’s Watercolor World.” Carol drove from St. Louis, Missouri to the Boothbay peninsula in 1982 when she attended a watercolor workshop being offered by Judy Wagner. Carol was an English teacher in the winter months; but Boothbay Harbor became her second home every summer after that. Carol was also a gifted art teacher who offered her own summer workshops that were lively sessions with great painting tips and stories gathered from her travels. Her blog, “Carol Jessen’s Watercolor World” is still on line.

The upstairs Harbor View Room is occupied by photographer Diane L. Woodworth of Hermon and Augusta. Her collection, “All About Maine,” is the culmination of her approach to photography as a process she calls, “chasing the light while capturing fleeting moments of time.” Diane hopes to share the sense of adventure and the joy of the journey through the images she creates.

If you’re looking for a pleasant, indoor treasure hunt, a visit to our downtown Boothbay Harbor Gallery will be an occasion that gives proof to the old saying, “variety is the spice of life!”

Find BRAF at 1 Townsend Ave. in Boothbay Harbor. Gallery hours are Monday- Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit us online at www.boothbayartists.org.
