New Assemblages with Antiques, Ephemera & Found Objects : For Harlow Gallery Summer Members Exhibit and 10x10 Exhibit for Arts Are Elementary
In an assemblage made up of many found objects which have been discarded or abandoned, elements are brought together to become a thing of beauty with new purpose. There is a comfort in breathing new life into that which has been destroyed or lost.

Remembering Mildred Johnson
“I honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t making art. I’m still playing with found materials – and I still feel the excitement of discovery that I remember as a child.” ~ Mildred Johnson
Thank you, Mildred, for your creativity, sense of beauty,
irreverence and artistic generosity!

"A SOLO FOR TWO VOICES" : Mary Becker Weiss
Press Release: “A Solo for Two Voices” by Brunswick artist Mary Becker Weiss is an evocative exhibition of mixed media and encaustic pieces reflecting the isolation, fear and helplessness of those with no voice. Mary has worked for years to advocate for victims of domestic violence, to facilitate support groups in Hospice’s Grieving Children’s Program, and as an art facilitator who works with creative storytellers with dementia and varying levels of cognitive abilities. In Mary's work through the years, art has been a powerful tool for self expression, emancipation and empowerment.
