Representational landscape artist Susan Dowley will exhibit a collection of her oil paintings at the Rockport Public Library from Sept. 2 - Oct. 29. The show, entitled “Sun, Wind, and Tides,” features a selection of her works depicting Maine’s landscapes and seascapes in all four seasons.

 

“When I am taking a walk, driving, or looking out the window from my home,” says Dowley, in a Library news release, “I see an image I want to paint almost every day. Since elements of a view are constantly changing with the light, time, and seasons, I am ever inspired to recreate each impression.”

 

Now living in Hope, Dowley has painted coastal Maine for most of her life. She has exhibited her art in numerous group and solo shows in New England and New Brunswick, Canada. She has also taught art extensively through plein air workshops, Elderhostel, adult education, and public education for over 25 years.
