FARMINGTON — SugarWood Gallery announces Patti Millette as June’s Artist of the Month with an open house reception set for 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, June 5, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 6, at 248 Broadway.
Millette’s work will remain on exhibit and available for sale during the month of June.
Millette is a local science teacher-musician-artist-geologist. Although watercolor painting is a fairly recent pursuit, she has spent many years doing scientific illustration in pen-and-ink and often uses illustration as a learning technique in her Earth science classes at Mt. Blue High School. During April 2015, scientific illustrations by several of her science students were exhibited at the Portland Museum of Art as part of a science-art crossover program.
Even though Millette has spent many years drawing in black and white, in the past three years she began dabbling in watercolors under the informal mentoring of Mary Beth Morrison and Janet Washburn, besides a lot of trial and error on her own. she enjoys painting elements of the natural world, but experiments with anything that seems fun to paint.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
