FURMAN ART EXHIBIT AT PWA

Damariscotta, Maine - Marcia Brandwein Furman will be exhibiting her paintings at the Pemaquid Watershed Association (PWA) office suite in downtown Damariscotta from October 1 to November 27.  The exhibit entitled, “Reflections of Nature,” features works in oils, graphite, and pastels.  The public is invited to a wine-and-cheese opening reception for Furman on Friday, October 5, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at PWA.

Furman lives in Pemaquid Harbor and White Plains, NY.  She graduated from Pratt Institute in NY as an illustrator but eventually found her love in textiles.  She has traveled worldwide extensively to print and weave her fabrics.  While in Maine, she relishes her involvement with local weekly plein air groups.  Her oil paintings show her strength at translating light and dark, capturing nature’s moodiness with deep shadows.  Her graphite drawings are extremely detailed with values of contrast and texture that draw the eye into every crevice. The pastel collection allows her to use her drawing talent and introduce color to her view of trees, flowers, and those fabulous dark, shadowy forms.

The exhibit may be viewed weekdays from 9:30 to 4:30 p.m. by visiting PWA above Salt Bay Café in downtown Damariscotta.  For more information, call 207-563-2196 or visit www.pemaquidwatershed.org.  Furman is donating 35% of proceeds from sales to support PWA’s mission of conserving the natural resources of the Pemaquid Peninsula.
