The Effingham Public Library is pleased to present the paintings of local artist, Jennifer Van Cor, for our first art show in our newly renovated Maine library room. Her vibrant landscape paintings will be on display for the months of February and March during open Library hours.She will give a presentation of her work at our Coffee Hour on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at 10 a.m. A retired art teacher, Jennifer now paints and sells her work in Maine galleries. She retreats with a women’s art group each year to a Maine coastal island in the Penobscot Bay from which much of her inspiration comes. She also spends time each summer on Vinalhaven, ME, painting many local scenes. Jennifer paints primarily in acrylics using colorful brushwork to emphasize the natural beauty and energy of her surroundings. It can be best described as intuitive, colorful and lively, while maintaining the integrity of place. Her work is currently shown at Camden Falls Gallery, ME and Yarmouth Frame Gallery, ME. It is widely collected through the US.Come visit the Effingham Library to enjoy our new space and new art display. The library is open Tuesday and Wednesday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Saturday, 9a.m. - noon
