BRIDGTON — Karen Pettengill, of Harrison, will be the guest artist at Gallery 302 beginning Saturday, June 19.
Pettengill’s work has been shown at juried and invitational venues in Maine, Kentucky, California, Louisiana, New York and Massachusetts. From 1997 to 1999, she was a featured cartoonist for Horse Illustrated Magazine. In 2009 she was a Maine Arts Grant recipient for a project in Freeport.
When talking about her work, Pettengill, who is self-taught, says, “The more I paint, the more I realize just how important my life experience, dreams and environment are to my work. I paint images that are not so much literal translations of the immediate but rather ideas and feelings that come from those places, to tell a story or express something about the beauty and mystery of nature.”
She works from photographs taken on her travels around New England and the Southwest. Subjects include landscapes, New England buildings, dogs, cats, and horses, as well as nocturnal settings.
Her work will be on display until until Friday, July 23. Gallery 302 at 112 Main St. in Bridgton.
