Original Fine Art
Opaque Gouache & Watercolors,
Close-ups of the New England Seashore
Mimi Gregoire Carpenter
is "a Maine painter". She's "been dubbed an 'environmental
artist'. Her delicate watercolor paintings might be termed 'tide-pool
art'. The intricate designs depict the oft overlooked sea creatures
and objects cast up on the state's craggy shorelines. 'I paint
all the things people step on', she says... One painting is a
dizzying tableau of hundreds of periwinkles; another, the underbelly
of a horseshoe crab; another, the skeletal remains of a cormorant.
Most of her works, however, combine marine subjects - sea urchins
and mussel shells, whelks, starfish, smooth stones, razor clams
and seaweed - and present them as though they had been dumped
from a bag after a day of beachcombing."
