CARRABASSETT VALLEY — Patty Thomas, founder of Alpine Design and a member of High Peaks Artisan Guild, will exhibit her artwork in the lobby of the Carrabassett Valley Public Library & Community Center during March and April.
She has been painting throughout her life, and although she loves to paint in watercolors, she uses mostly acrylics for her pieces.
She paints on anything — including canvas, paper, wood, furniture — and has a particular fondness for trompe l’oeil — a visual illusion in art used to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object. Her most popular works are painting landscapes of the Sugarloaf area on old recovered skis. Husband Greg Thomas tears off the bindings and mounts them together on recycle wood.
The exhibit in the lobby can be viewed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday.
A wine and cheese reception will be held on 4:30 to 6 p.m. Friday, March 8. For more information, call 207-237-3535.
