Retablos are sophisticated folk art in the form of portable boxes filled with brightly colored figurines arranged into intricate narrative scenes. From the 16th to the 19th centuries, Retablos were carried through the mountains by Spanish priests as portable religious shrines for Catholic saints.
Nicario's compositions depict religious, historical and everyday events. His hands move quickly and with confidence to fashion people, animals, and mythical figurines as he creates poignant scenes from a doughy mixture of boiled potato and gypsum powder. For his sculpting process, Nicario's only tool is a small piece of wood resembling an enlarged toothpick.

I've been photographing seriously for about ten years, and over the last six years, I have honed my focus to be on Maine and the natural landscape and animals here. I love Maine. On the way into the state you pass a sign that says "Welcome to Maine, The Way Life Should Be" which is truly how I feel about it here. There is fresh air, beautiful landscape,

 | Artist: Rochelle Brown
Rochelle started painting at age 13 when her grandmother insisted she take private oil painting lessons. Growing up in New York there was and still is a great wealth of art resources, especially the museums. Rochelle's work is popular and she has sold to private and corporate clients. The style is classical, almost elegant with clear, clean detail and soft blending.
Painted portraits are a wonderful way to celebrate someone important. Rochelle Brown has been painting portraits on request since 2001, of a variety of subjects including political figures, children, pets and commemoratives.

Artist: The Painter's Palette
Pat's range of painting subjects includes still life, floral and landscape, as well as pet portraits and religious subjects. She began painting pets when an image of her own dog was recognized in an English landscape painting that was being shown at a local art show. There proved to be considerable interest in pet portraits which have become a significant part of her business since 1994.
