From the gallery:

While the Gallery is ecstatic to highlight the beauty of Maine, that’s not the only reason why this show is special. We’re also proud to announce that the “The Maine Event” is an ALL woman show at a gallery owned by a woman. We’ve assembled an all-star cast of seven female artists.

Malvern resident and owner of Gallery222 Malvern, Andrea Strang is thrilled to bring these award-winning plein air artists together in “The Maine Event.” “If 2020 hasn’t been declared the year of the woman in the art world yet, I guess Gallery222 Malvern is doing it now. As a female gallery owner, I don’t think I can be prouder than to have these seven talented ladies showing with us and with such an amazing and beautiful theme. We just can’t wait.”

“One of the wonderful things about painting en plein air has been the chance to develop friendships and travel with other painters” says participating artist Elaine Lisle. “Most of us have painted together for many years, either in plein air competitions or on painting trips, locally and even in Europe.”

The artists participating are Elaine Lisle, Jacalyn Beam, Elise Phillips, Valerie Craig, Nancy Bea Miller, Eliza Auth, and Alexandra Tyng.
