With the chill of winter gratefully behind us, the gallery presents Refreshed: spring & summer selections, an exhibition that embraces the luminosity, vitality, and sense of renewal associated with the warmer seasons. Bringing together recent acquisitions alongside familiar favorites, the presentation captures the atmosphere of spring and summer through works that celebrate light, color, and the enduring beauty of the natural world. The exhibition invites viewers into a space of warmth and reflection, echoing the emotional lift that accompanies the changing of the seasons.

Across the exhibition, landscapes, still lifes, and intimate scenes evoke moments of tranquility and nostalgia. From Abbott Graves’ evocative New England doorway scenes to Jane Peterson’s delicately arranged still lifes, the works reveal a sensitivity to atmosphere and everyday beauty. These compositions balance intimacy and vibrancy, offering glimpses into spaces shaped by memory, domesticity, and seasonal transformation. Each painting carries a distinct sense of place while contributing to the exhibition’s broader meditation on renewal and serenity.

The exhibition also highlights the dynamic Maine landscapes of Karl Schrag, whose vivid compositions convey movement, energy, and the shifting rhythms of nature. Together, the selected works create a visual dialogue around the temperate seasons and their emotional resonance, emphasizing themes of rejuvenation, warmth, and contemplation. Refreshed: Spring & Summer Selections ultimately celebrates the restorative power of art and landscape, inviting audiences to reconnect with the brightness and optimism of spring and summer.
