our fantastic view

THE GALLERY AT CATERPILLAR HILL

Our Mission...

...is to reflect and honor the beauty and power of Maine's natural landscape while supporting the artist's choice to create. We try to create an environment which comfortably and naturally stimulates both the viewing and collecting of artwork. Commitment to this mission is reflected by the number of artists represented by the gallery, the compositional components used in hanging the shows, and the manner in which the public is engaged.

"To paint a landscape is to see the Divinely Created natural world. By selecting a particular view, a painter adds his or her individual signature, rendering us fascinating and unending works of art. "

- Kelly Mitchell Gallery Owner

MONTHLY MISSION COMMENTARY

Because of the beauty of the location, and the gallery owner's particular affinity to the importance of such beauty to the human condition, the gallery works for as many painters as possible hoping to both encourage the creative process and to have “something for everyone”. Most shows have work by up to forty artists. Some of our painters have been with the gallery since its beginning in 1995, and new painters are shown as they come in.

Kelly (the owner) describes herself as “an artist imposing as an art dealer to help painters” and she has a reputation among artists as being good to work with-they can tell that its really all about them-she is there working for them and supporting their commitment to create, not just as a business wanting to make money for its own benefit. Visit coming events for information about our 2010 season opening date and early summer hours, show receptions and other events. And be sure to stop in when you are visiting the Blue Hill peninsula.
