DAMARISCOTTA — Artist Scout Dunbar’s “Views from the Shore” will be on view through July 31 in the River Room at River Arts, 36 Elm St.
Dunbar is a third-generation female artist originally hailing from Ithaca, New York. She received a Bachelor of Fine Art degree with a concentration in Printmaking from Alfred University in Alfred, New York.
In the years since, she has centered her art practice in New York City, Santa Fe, Tucson, and Bremen, Maine. She has shown work in numerous national and international solo and group shows. Her art is held in the permanent collection of the University of New Mexico, as well as corporate and private art collections.
Dunbar’s art takes inspiration from the landscapes of her past and present to make whimsical abstract two-dimensional artwork that evokes a sense of place.
“Views from the Shore” showcases a new selection of abstract mixed-material drawings that exude playful energy and a lighthearted exploration of color, form and line.
In this exhibit, she draws on her experiences on the rugged coast of Muscongus Bay where she set up her studio in a small cottage along the water’s edge since 2020. Viewers will find the new collection of work holds unique expressions of the Maine coastal landscape that abounds just outside of her cottage door.
Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
For more information, call the gallery at 207-563-6868 or visit riverartsme.org.
