Join us at Barn Gallery on Thursday, August 22nd (at 6 PM) for a Barn Gallery Talk by our two Late Summer Exhibition Showcase Artists: Shiao-Ping Wang (Painter) and Shaune McCarthy (Painter).
Meet the artists, see their work, learn about their processes, and ask questions.
These insightful and inspiring Gallery Talks always provide further insight into our exhibitions and give attendees the chance to hear stories + learn tips and tricks from present day juried artist-members of the Ogunquit Art Association, Maine’s Original Artists’ Group (est. 1928).
This is a FREE event and it is open to the public.

About Shaune McCarthy – Painter
My paintings and sculptures are a consequence of experimentation, spontaneity, imagination, play, and of course hard work.
I think being an artist means trusting your instincts and allowing your imagination to show you the path into the unknown. That’s where I want to be with my art. I want to make something no one, not even me, has seen before.
When I begin a painting I usually have very little idea where I’ll be going with it. I find that if I attempt to plan a painting or even sketch an idea beforehand I get bored and it never appears like the plan anyway. I endeavor to stay alert to any story which unfolds before my eyes and especially open to those happy accidents which happen if you’re experimenting and staying free.
