LEWISTON — Paintings by Joyce Coyne and photography by Gene Bailey are on display through September in the main lobby hallway of Central Maine Medical Center’s 60 High St. entrance.

Bailey has enjoyed photography for as long as he can remember, starting with his Kodak camera that took 126 cartridges.

“To take a great shot you need three things: a good grasp of the technical aspects of photography, a good eye for the interesting and unusual, and you just have to be at the right place at the right time,” Bailey said. “When all three come together, you end up with something you are proud to hang on your wall and share with others.”

Coyne’s work is recognizable from the light and airy style she has been known for during her art career. Having been involved in art shows and festivals for many years, she now concentrates on home and garden commissions and murals. The watercolors in this month’s exhibit are original paintings. Her work has been represented by galleries in Maine and Massachusetts. 

The artwork on display may be purchased through the Woman’s Hospital Association Gift Shop. A percentage of sales proceeds benefits CMMC.
