Our walls, our residents, our wider community will be fortunate to view and reflect upon this inspired collection of contemporary art.”

The five artists in this group show work in oil, watercolor, photography, and mixed media. Viewers should expect a wide range of styles, experiences, materials, and scale by these working Maine artists, all from the Knox County area, bringing an impressive depth of talent and achievement.

Multimedia MidCoast Artist Featured at September 28th Public Event. 

 

The Art at Bartlett exhibition program marks the arrival of Fall with a free public Art Opening. Bartlett Woods’ resident artist Constance Kiermaier opens a solo exhibition on Saturday, September 28th, 2-4PM at Bartlett Woods Retirement Community, 20 Bartlett Drive in Rockland. Entitled “CONTINUUM: Old and New Works by Constance Kiermaier,” the exhibition is one part classic Kiermaier mixed media objects, and one part called The Portrait Project. Light refreshments will be served. Parking is limited to unmarked spaces, the driveway and along Talbot Avenue.   The public is also invited to visit during regular open hours, Monday to Sunday, 8AM to 4PM; the exhibition remains on view through January 3, 2025.

     

“We are so pleased to host this event for Constance,” confirmed Kelly Osborn, Executive Director at Bartlett Woods. “The arts are important to us all here at Bartlett Woods. Resident artist Constance Kiermaier also teaches students in our own Art Center. We hope to see many longtime friends and make new ones at our upcoming artist’s reception.”                                                                                                                                                  

Ms. Kiermaier’s constructions, paintings and prints are personal, mysterious, and timeless. Crafted with great skill, each piece demonstrates a refusal to be limited by material, method, or subject. Additionally, she will show a new series of pastel portraits of some neighbors at Bartlett Woods, specifically those 95 years of age and older. The artist, herself a nonagenarian, will be included with a self-portrait. “ ‘The Portrait Project’ began as a series of self-portraits to be given to each of my children,” confirms Constance. “This effort evolved into capturing the likenesses of some neighbors who are 95 and above, up to 100 years old! I believe it is important for people our age to be noticed. This is an important issue for me.”

Constance Kiermaier is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts, Yale University. She has shown her work throughout the USA, including: Rhode Island School of Design, Yale University, National Academy of Fine Arts, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and the Portland Museum. She has received many awards, including a fellowship from the New England Foundation on the Arts/National Endowment for the Arts. She was raised in Virginia, lived in Connecticut, Tenants Harbor, ME, has called Bartlett Woods home since 2016.
