Boothbay Railway Village’s Executive Director Margaret Hoffman announced the winners of the Don Justin Meserve Sculpture Raffle: East Boothbay resident Sue Newbold won Meserve’s “Hook Form” in Impala granite and Neal Kimball of Bristol won “Toucan” carved in Chelmsford granite.
The raffle proceeds will be split 50-50 between the Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium (SISS) and Boothbay Railway Village to support the Maine Coast Stone Symposium. Meserve participated in the SISS’ first symposium in 2007 held at the Schoodic Education and Research Center campus at the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park in Winter Harbor. At this event Meserve did what he loved: teach and demonstrate sculpting methods and stone working. At this symposium he created “Cleat.”
Meserve, who passed on Nov. 3, 2010, was an instructor at the Rhode Island School of Design; a craftsman and artist who dedicated his career to art education. After establishing a studio in Round Pond he joined the Maine Stone Workers Guild. The Guild’s education fund, initially funded by Meserve’s estate, was established to honor his vision and to perpetuate and enrich the legacy of Maine stone work.
Meserve’s sculptures have been exhibited at Studio 53 Fine Art and Gleason Fine Art, both of Boothbay Harbor; and at the Littlefield Gallery in Winter Harbor.
