Chaya Studio jewelry
Posted by Chaya Caron & filed under .
My work explores forms and movement of nature using a variety of materials, textures, shapes and finishes. The pieces are fabricated using processes including carving, forging, patina and found objects. The Maine coastal landscape is my current inspiration, exploring the dance between the ocean and rocky coastline. Shapes morph from water to stone and back again, relating the elements to their evolution through time. I strive for work that is both beautiful and powerful, exposing the essence of the subject. The materials are sustainably sourced gold, sterling, found materials and various stones. Many of the gemstones I use come from Maine, including tourmaline, amethyst, aquamarine and beryl.

IMAGINE CREATIVE ART
Posted by RICHARD MORIN & filed under .
I’m an artist.. My Name is Richard P. Morin. I live in the beautiful state of Maine. Ever since I was young, I’ve always been interested in art. I was born with the art gene I guess. It seems to come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve taught myself calligraphy,photography, painting and most recently jewelry making.
My work is constantly evolving. I was inspired many years ago by the beauty of flowers and began photographing them in my garden. I loved the intimacy of the close-up, but wanted more. This evolved into using many different techniques to enhance their beauty. Multiple exposures, intentional camera movement, selective focus and freezing them to create impressionistic or abstract effects.
Photographing Maine’s natural beauty as well as it’s magnificent lighthouses became another addition to my portfolio.
I’ve always had an interest in the abstract and impressionism. Capturing water reflections and even reflections in glass objects fulfill this interest.
About 5 or 6 years ago I picked up a brush and began painting with acrylics and have dabbled in oils, also.
I have won several awards for my photography. In 2013 I won my most prestigious – 1st place color category in the state of Maine Photography Show for my image “Iced Daisy.” My images have appeared in Maine Tour Magazine, Popular Photography Magazine, Down East Magazine, Connections Magazine for Toyota and several other local national and local publications. Additionally, I was honored with a solo exhibition of my floral photography at the Kennebunk Free Library. I’m a longtime member of the Art Guild of the Kennebunks and Maine Made..
So, the journey continues – who knows where it leads to next! I hope you enjoy my work!
Ash Cove pottery
Posted by Susan Horowitz & filed under .
Susan Horowitz is a maker of wheel-thrown stoneware pottery. She designs functional pottery to be used in daily life–a common reaction to her work is “what a good idea.” She strives to make handles that fit the hand, pots that drain and “fight the yuk factor,” pots that work well and will bring joy to those who use them. She makes dinnerware, pots for the bathroom, decorative pieces and Jewish ritual pottery. Her pots are glazed in the colors of the sea and sand, and the brushwork and sgraffito decorations are based on the patterns left in the sand by the receding tides. DownEast magazine named Susan’s mug the “Best Handcrafted Mug” in Maine in 2010, and the Double Dip Dinghy was featured in Coastal Living magazine July-August 2017.
