NORWAY — The Main Street Gallery, 426 Main St. continues its winter season with a First Friday Reception, from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 6. The works of Francoise Lagoutte Fetchko, the gallery’s Artist of the Month, will be featured. Fetchko paints landscapes, seascapes and still lifes in oils.

Fetchko writes, “Each day I look forward to going up to my little studio to paint in Bryant Pond, Maine. Since my youth in France I have been interested in art and particularly painting. However, when I moved to Maine I had the time and inspiration to express my interest fully. I have taken formal classes in art at the Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Mass. and at the Maine College of Art in Portland. I have had many teachers. Each has had a different influence. I live in Maine and I continue to visit France, where most of my family lives. I paint both from reality and from photographs, but never from a place or subject I have not seen or experienced personally.”

The gallery is open Tuesday-through-Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m and is free and open to the public.
