SEARSPORT — The nonprofit Fiber College will open another season of Camp and Create! Artist in Residence weeks at Searsport Shores Ocean Campground, Route 1.  June 21 through 27, artist Karen Jelenfy will be on site, offering programs that are available as drop-in, hands-on presentations. No fee is required for instruction. For more information, call 548-6059.

Jelenfy has been an artist for more than 30 years and an art teacher for almost that long. She lives and works in Washington with her partner, Pete, her best friend Dixie (a black lab), four cats and two cashmere goats. She also owns WORKS, the used books store in Searsport, which carries gently used books as well as colorful fiber and yarny goods. Her drawings and paintings are exhibited there, along with the work of other Maine artists.

Jelenfy will be teaching how to the render Searsport Shores beach life in both pencil and watercolor. According to Jelenfy, realism is not the goal in the work, but rather an emotional response to the environment.
