Artist Sarah Faragher is donating a portion of her proceeds to the Stockton Springs Community Library Endowment Fund.

Faragher was born and raised on the coast of Maine, studied art history and painting at Colby College and the University of Maine, and now lives and works as a professional painter in Midcoast Maine. She attended residencies at Weir Farm National Historic Park, Acadia National Park, Monson Arts, and on Great Spruce Head Island.

Faragher is offering the sale of ten paintings. Click here for images and a price list of the art on sale.

"My paintings are memoirs of my experiences with nature," said Faragher, in a SSCL news release. "Through painting, I participate in the landscape, recognize transcendent moments in nature, honor the integrity of natural forms, and describe where my heart lives. I often feel as if the places I paint have commissioned me to tell their autobiographies, at the same time that I tell my own."

Her work is featured in Drawing New Audiences, Expanding Interpretive Possibilities: Artist-in-Residence Programs of the National Park Service (U.S Department of the Interior 2009), which was selected for the 2011 Portland Museum of Art Biennial and the 2025 Center for Maine Contemporary Art Biennial, is also included in the book Art of Acadia by David Little and Carl Little (Down East Books 2016, 2023), and in the Littles’ book Art of Penobscot Bay (Islandport Press 2024). In 2021, Sarah published a memoir about painting on Bear Island in Penobscot Bay, entitled Autobiography of an Island. She's currently working on a second memoir entitled The Ocean of Trees and an illustrated book In Residence.
