“Peak’s Island,” by Joyce Coyne Submitted photo
“Dawn of a New Day,” by Nancy Clark Submitted photo
The paintings of well-known local artists Nancy Clark and Joyce Coyne are on display in the Woman’s Hospital Association Rotating Art Gallery at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
Clark captures the essence of a moment in time with her open and expansive seascapes and landscapes. Born and raised in rural Maine, Clark draws boundless inspiration from the magnificent layered mountains, open fields, flowing rivers, sparkling ponds and wide-open horizon of the ever-moving ocean. This current sea and sky series which focuses on the horizon line and the effects of changing light, sets the stage for contemplating the mystery and calling of distant spaces. “Sometimes it feels like a dance, and I find myself swaying as I blend paints directly onto the canvas. These images are inspired by reality, but are created by allowing the painting to lead the way to its own conclusion.”
As a watercolor painter, Coyne’s art career has spanned more than 30 years. In that time, she has participated in a number of solo exhibits as well as group shows including most notably the Juried Canadian Watercolorists held at Montreal’s Botanical Gardens. Receiving numerous awards at sidewalk art shows throughout Maine and New Hampshire, Coyne was instrumental in promoting area artists in the community when she owned and operated Images of Art Gallery and established and coordinated Lewiston’s Downtown Artists Project. Her favorite subject of gardens and flowers lends itself ideally to her soft, simple and colorful style.
The works on display may be purchased through the WHA Gift Shop located adjacent to the main lobby at Central Maine Medical Center. A percentage of sale proceeds benefits patients of CMMC.
