Finding Our Voices Fundraiser
All through October in Rockland, Maine, Finding Our Voices presents artwork by 45 artists and displayed at 50 businesses to raise money (via an art auction) and awareness for Finding Our Voices, a non-profit featuring the voices and stories of victims of domestic violence. Nickelson Editions proudly supports this organization in many ways, including by printing many of the pieces of artwork and the donation of some of my artwork for the fundraising auction.
"Our Maine" Zoom Artist Talk
Pale Fire, Canto One III
I’m excited to participate in the Zoom-based artist talk for the “Our Maine” exhibition at Rockland’s Archipelago Gallery. Nickelson Edition clients Lisa Vietze and Olga Merrill will also be included in the talk. You can register for the free event here, and the talk will run from 2-3 pm on July 8th. Without in-person big events like openings on First Friday, this is a nice substitute! And, of course, the gallery is open to visitors and maintaining social distancing guidelines.

The exhibition will feature images that highlight buildings, streetscapes, neighborhoods, and designed landscapes, including those that have been saved, lost, changed and newly built. Photographs were selected from 238 submissions of images. In addition, there are five historical photographs documenting key buildings from the 1960s and early 1970s.
