The latest art display in the library features paintings of fish and coastal habitats by local artist James (”Jim”) Dochtermann. The artwork will be on display from April 22 through the end of May. Dochtermann recently spent two years living in northern Japan and now resides in Alfred, Maine. He is currently a researcher at the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve in southern Maine. His experience includes investigating fish communities and habitats from the Gulf of Maine estuaries and their associated watersheds to offshore marine areas. The artwork reflects his direct exposure, acquired through intense field research, to these habitats and the fish that live there. Many of these works have been provided for documents and publication for Gulf of Maine-related research, education and stewardship. James paints with oil, gouache and water color.
The fish paintings are part of a series that will be used to illustrate an upcoming field guide Fish of Southern Maine and Seacoast New Hampshire to be released by the Wells Reserve and Laudholm Trust. The originals are for sale and range in price from $60 to $90. Please speak to one of the librarians if you are interested in purchasing a painting.
