Come summer, meeting a Maine artist is no problem. Meeting a good one can be. If you want to meet a real artist in a real Maine fishing village, you definitely want to stop by to see Jill Hoy in her Stonington gallery.
Jill’s paintings are joyous celebrations of everything we love about Maine: the land and the sea, the woods and the fields, the flowers and the gardens, the modest homes and the hardworking people who live in them, all illuminated by the crystalline light for which the Maine coast is famous. Jill has been summering in Maine since she was a little girl, so she “gets it.” She’s the real deal.
Jill Hoy Gallery,80 Thurlows Hill Road. 207-367-2368.
