Maine Sunday Telegram features Art Gallery's show, 'Lullaby for Maine'

The Maine Sunday Telegram on April 22, 2012 published a feature story on the UNE Art Gallery's current exhibition "Rebecca Goodale, Lullaby for Maine."

Goodale, a Freeport artist, draws attention to Maine's endangered species through her artist books on display.

Bob Keyes of the Telegram writes: "The exhibition, aptly titled "Lullaby for Maine," features Goodale's handmade renderings of threatened and endangered insects, plants and animals. The exhibition is layered and detailed, and beautiful in brilliant ways. Despite the somber message imparted by the artist -- these natural things are vanishing at an alarming pace -- Goodale's artist's books pop with color and emote comfort."

The Telegram story includes a short video on Goodale's work. The exhibition is on display through June 16th.

Art Gallery's 'Faces of War' reviewed by Sun Journal

"Faces of War: A Photographic Essay Exhibition" at the UNE Art Gallery at the Portland Campus was reviewed by Pat Davidson Reef in the Sun Journal (Lewiston) on Nov. 26, 2011.

Reef writes that "Over a three-year period, photographer Jerry Robinov [who died on August 8th} worked to capture the depth of the human spirit as seen in the eyes and expressions of Maine's service men and women.... Robinov's compassion, love of life and generous spirit live on in his penetrating and powerful photographs." Read the entire review.
