Penobsot Judicial Center Public Art Project

In December of 2008 I was selected for a Percent for Art Project through the Maine Arts Commission to complete six painted triptychs for the Penobscot Judicial Center. I began work on this project in 2008 and completed the last painting in March 2011.

I was interested in painting the Penobscot River as it intersects with communities along its banks in both rural and urban areas in Penobscot Country, and titled the series of landscapes Penobscot Intersections. The committee selected six designs from the eleven that I proposed during my presentation. I have painted Penobscot River landscapes since 1985. Connections followed the construction of the Veterans Bridge between Brewer and Bangor and Paradox explored the plume of steam from a local power plant as it interacted with the river landscape. As a result I felt that I had been preparing for this series for many years.
