An exhibition of new paintings by Jessica Ives and mixed-media assemblages by Margaret Rizzio will be on display August 19-31 at The Good Supply in Pemaquid. An artists' reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 22 at The Good Supply’s post and beam storefront. The public is invited to attend.

Ives, a Damariscotta resident and graduate of The Cooper Union School of Art, creates oil paintings inspired by the outdoor adventures shared with her husband and friends. “Summer Work” features a large selection of her 4 by 4 inch “207 Paintings” appropriately named for the state’s area code. Swimmers, sailors, paddlers, hikers, bikers, climbers, and other outdoor adventurers are captured in jewel-like moments that shine with the artist’s gratitude for life lived in Maine. A selection of larger paintings will also be on view. Ives celebrated a successful solo show at Bowdoin College earlier this year and exhibits regularly with Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor and Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth.

Born and raised in Blue Hill and now living in Camden, Rizzio received her MFA from SUNY Purchase and quickly returned home to pursue a life of art. Her current work uses a wide range of mediums — vintage ephemera, found objects, re-purposed frames — that embrace the passage of time and the beauty of physical objects in a screen obsessed era. Summer Work will include various size assemblage pieces and a series of unique postcard collages. Last summer Rizzio sold out her solo show at Turtle Gallery in Deer Isle. She continues to exhibit at Turtle and at The Maine Farmland Trust Gallery in Belfast.

Ives and Rizzio have collaborated on pop-up events and exhibitions in the past and are thrilled to team up with The Good Supply owner Catherine Walton on this unique community exhibition. The Good Supply, an up-and-coming rustic boutique housed in a recently restored 150-year old barn in Pemaquid, is known for its utilitarian work from Maine artisans. This pop-up event marks the store's first 2D art celebration.

The business storefront is located in The Good Supply barn at 2106 Bristol Road in Pemaquid. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, and to view wares online visit www.thegoodsupply.org or call Walton at 207-607-3121.
