    ROCKLAND — A new show will be presented at Art Space Gallery in time for Rockland’s June First Friday, which falls on Friday, June 1. The show will feature exciting new work by four artist-members including photography, wood, painting and mixed media.

    Artists included in the show include Lori Davis, Roger Barry, Jean Byrd, Hannah Nelsbach. 

    Davis is an Ellsworth based photographer specializing in nature, wildlife, and landscape images. Inspired by both the simplicity and intricate details found in nature, she captures spectacular moments to bring back and share with others.

    Barry creates sculptures that are organic, elegant and often intricately carved, using primarily walnut and cherry milled from known trees. Many of his pieces require interaction through hidden locks, vintage hardware or LED lighting. Whether formal or whimsical, functional or decorative, his work invites a personal encounter with the wood.

    Byrd paints realistic impressionism, in oil, as she captures the mood of the New England coast, depicting unique glimpses of ordinary life on and around the sea.

    Nelsbach has worked in varied media for more than 50 years. Her artwork ranges from intimate collages to oversized nudes and landscapes in which she combines fantasy and realism with intriguing effect.

    Art Space Gallery is located at 405 Main Street in Rockland. The gallery features seventeen artists who work in various media and genres. June hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, closed Mondays. Visit our website for more information at www.artspacemaine.com.
