Six artists have each installed a selection of works in six separate rooms of the library. The exhibit runs from Tuesday, November 5 through Saturday, January 31.
FABIOLA ZAMBON
Fabiola was raised in Milan, Italy. She spent 20 years in California as a lighting & design consultant for Ron Rezek and in corporate retail with Design Within Reach and Vitra Design Museum. Though a lifelong urban dweller, Fabiola couldn’t resist the allure of the magnificent Down East coast. In 2018, she became a year-round resident of Blue Hill, embracing small-town living. In 2020, she began capturing her perspectives on Maine’s beauty by painting its landscapes and, a year later, added portraits of local friends and her family to her focus.
JESSICA SHIVELY
J. L. Shively lives on an island in Maine where she is continuing her search for old cemeteries and abandoned places while completing her collection of short horror stories. She has a Master of Letters from Drew University where she studied creative writing and the psychological fascination of modern ruin. In her writing, Shively focuses on character-driven fiction and adventure stories that are thrilling or even speculative in nature. Her photography reflects her interest in both nature and ruins and how the two worlds often intertwine. You can follow her @entertheruin.
JUDY RADER
Judy Rader is a retired art teacher who moved to Maine for “full-time” painting. The beauty, variety, and character of the Maine landscape provide an endless source of inspiration. All paintings are oil, painted on site and sometimes finished up in the studio.
LINDA SMILEY
“After a forty-plus year career as a professional architect dealing with a more pragmatic and precise kind of creativity, I love now having the creative freedom that being a landscape painter offers. Painting what I see and experience allows me to share the beauty of sometimes fleeting moments with all those who see my work.”
MEG WOLFE
Meg Wolfe is an interdisciplinary artist and gardener based in Deer Isle, Maine since 2019; with a 30+ year history working as a choreographer, performer, curator, and producer in Los Angeles and New York. Their projects rove across media, spaces, and intuitive practices; enacting non-narrative sensory experiences, both intimate and epic. You can learn more about Meg and their art and choreography on their website.
WILL TERNAY III
Will Ternay III, a native of Philadelphia, has enjoyed Deer Isle since he was a child. A chef by trade, he has worked in kitchens around the peninsula, including Aragosta, Yellow Birch Farm and Haystack. His second passion is photography. He and his wife, Stacey Doll, reside in Sunset with their two cats.
