Artwork by Michelle Hero Clarke on display at Campus Center

A collection of paintings by Michelle Hero Clarke, will be on display at the 51品茶鈥檚 Biddeford Campus Center from May 31 through June 30, 2014.

Clarke has lived full-time in Maine for over 20 years, and most of her work is inspired by the local landscape.  Primarily painting in the 鈥減lein air鈥 tradition, she prefers to paint on location rather than from memory or photographs.  鈥淭his method of working,鈥 she stated, 鈥渃ombines my two greatest passions, which are being in nature and making art.鈥

She has shown her paintings at numerous businesses and small galleries including Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers, Maine College of Art, and The Humboldt Visual Arts Center in Bronxville, NY.  Her artwork can also be seen at the Harraseeket Inn, in Freeport, Brown Chiropractic Wellness Center in Yarmouth, as well as in the offices of Marble Harbor Investment Counsel in Boston.
