Penobscot Judicial Center Public Art Project

These six triptychs, titled Penobscot Intersections, were completed between 2008 and 2011, commissioned for the Penobscot Judicial Center in Bangor under the Maine Percent for Art Act, administered by the Maine Arts Commission.

The Penobscot River intersects rural and urban communities in Penobscot County, Maine, and these varied landscapes became the subject for the courthouse. I had been painting Penobscot River landscapes since 1985 with a bridge construction and power plant series, so felt that I had been preparing for this project for a long time.
