Trompe L’oeil artist Mary Sue Weeks will present a slide program about Trompe L’oeil painting - including how to pronounce it – at the Bremen Library on Thursday, Oct. 24 from 4 to 6 p.m.

Trompe L’oeil is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Mary Sue will cover the definition of trompe l’oeil and what makes it unique, as well as a little bit of history starting with frescoes in Pompeii, through works of the Renaissance and into modern
paintings. Pictures of trompe l’oeil from around the world and close to home will be included. Refreshments will be served.

After spending many years in the non-profit sector as a funds developer, Ms. Weeks returned to her first love, painting, and created Decorative Illusions, providing quality decorative wall enhancements for fine home and business interiors, specializing in trompe l’oeil and faux finishing. Her work can be seen in the Rockport Masonic Lodge, Morse’s Sauerkraut in North Waldoboro and in the Visitor's’ Center at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester as well as many private homes throughout Midcoast Maine and Boston.

The Bremen Library is located on Route 32 Bremen, near the town office.
