BRIDGTON — Gallery 302 welcomes artist Josef Keller to the cooperative of local artists who show and sell their original artwork at the Gallery.

Keller’s work at Gallery 302 is primarily 3-D assemblage, inspired largely by his enjoyment of reading science fiction and the sub genre of steampunk. He feels that science fiction has often been a stimulant to scientific discovery and inventive thinking, as well as his own artistic inspiration. His work has a whimsical and creative feeling to it that Jules Verne would find most impressive.

Keller has been drawing and painting for most of his life and he now shares his studio with his talented and artistic wife Heather MacLeod. He has won numerous awards for his paintings and 3-D assemblage works, both locally and in Arizona. He has recently shared his work with the students of Fryeburg Academy in a show called “Air, Land and Sea” at the Bion R. Cram Library. In addition to joining Gallery 302, Keller is a dedicated member of the Mount Washington Arts Association.

Gallery 302 is located at 112 Main St. in Bridgton. For more information, call 207-647-2787; on the web at: gallery302.com; or on Facebook.
