Local artist Laura Vickery exhibits paintings at UNE’s Biddeford Campus Center

An exhibition of paintings by local artist Laura Vickery will be on display at the University of New England’s Biddeford Campus Center until September 30.

The exhibition features an exploration in color theory using acrylic paints in just three colors: red, yellow, and blue. Vickery mixes the colors and applies them to canvas with brushes or palette knives in order to represent what she calls “the beauty and perfection” in nature.

Vickery is a graduate of the Maine College of Art (MECA). She has worked in many mediums, having welded, blown glass, made jewelry, sculpted designed, 3D printed, drawn, carved, knit, sewed, made clothing, photographed, and worked in stained glass. She currently offers a line of personalized pet pottery.

“Each disciple offers me insight and is an outlet for thoughts and energy,” said Vickery. “The end product doesn’t matter as much to me as the actual making of whatever it is.”

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Masks are required indoors for all visitors to UNE’s campuses. The Campus Center is located at 11 Hills Beach Road, Biddeford, Maine. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, contact Diane Noble by email at dbmn27@maine.rr.com or phone (207-284-6394).
