Works by photographer Lisa Davis and painter Lawrence Stevens are on display at the Central Maine Medical Center Woman’s Hospital Association  rotating art gallery through March 5.

Davis is a self-taught photographer who “enjoys photography as a hobby and as a way of connecting with nature.”

“Photography is a great way to escape the stresses of the world by just concentrating on your subject. Many of my images are taken from my home . . .   or from my kayak on various small rivers and streams. Some are taken from fields that are rich with birds and butterflies,” she says.

Stevens often works by first creating small sketches, focusing on light, shade, composition and the emotional impact of his subject, thus eliminating unnecessary detail. He works on small panels and later completes a larger studio painting.

The artwork on display may be purchased through the WHA gift shop, located adjacent to the main lobby corridor.
