At First Light: Two Centuries of Maine Artists, Their Homes and Studios
At the top of our reading list is At First Light, which chronicles twenty-six extraordinary artists of the last two hundred years who have lived and worked in Maine. Published to coincide with the state's bicentennial in 2020, the volume considers the significant contributions artists have made to a deeper and more profound understanding of Maine's history, its land and its peoples. Maine's unique and breathtaking landscape--from its rugged coastline, quaint harbors, majestic mountains, and verdant forests--continues to have a powerful effect on the artists who are drawn to its shores.

Maine continues to inspire several of our own artists, with works depicting land and sea. Here are a few of our favorites.
