Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Thursday, August 15th for a Barn Gallery Talk (at 6pm) on the topic of “Presenting your work in Book Form” led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-members Nancy R. Davison and Deloris White.

This is a FREE event and open to the public.

Artists Nancy R. Davison and Deloris White have written, compiled and published books of their own poetry and pictures. Each approached the making of a book as an adventure – a new way to present their work.

Davison’s Summer Cottage: Art and Poetry combines her relief prints of York Beach Maine in the 1980s and ‘90s with recent poems to give an evocative view of summer life in Maine.

White’s Listen to the Trees is a collection of haiku and monotypes created in an attempt to understand the emotions and turmoil of navigating loss and grief.

The artists will read excerpts from their books and describe the process of putting a book together.

  • Thursday, August 15th (at 6 PM)

Nancy R. Davison took printmaking from Leonard Baskin at Smith College and set up her own printmaking studio after graduation. She is best known for black and white linoleum cuts and aquatint etchings of architectural landscapes, especially of the southern Maine seacoast. She began making political prints during the Gulf War. A recent exhibition focused on the interplay between her poetry, her prints and her paintings – some political, some personal.

A life-long volunteer in the arts, Davison is a founder of the Ogunquit Arts Collaborative/Barn Gallery and a member of the Ogunquit Arts Association Association, and the Boston Printmakers. She is listed in Who’s Who in American Art.

Deloris White has been creating art for over thirty years as an artist, print maker, and a teacher. She earned a B.S. from Franklin Pierce College and an M.Ed. in Creative Arts from Lesley College.

Exploring the use of non-toxic materials has presented exciting opportunities for Deloris to study with and be inspired by innovative print makers. She was selected by jury to be a member of the Ogunquit Art Association and the New Hampshire Art Association and exhibits her work at the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine, and the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH.
