Auburn artist Diane Beem will be the featured in “The Midcoast Show,” an exhibit at Mae’s Cafe and Bakery, 160 Centre St., Bath. An opening for the show is set for 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 4. Beem described her style as “modern Fauvist.” She has been creating Maine landscape and still-life paintings for 15 years using the style of the Fauve movement at the turn of the last century as a springboard into her own individual style of painting. “My art is about recovery, rebuilding and re-creating. Like the explosions and shatterings that we experience in life, the pointillism in my paintings is a metaphor for the process of internal rebuilding,” Beem said. Shown here is Beem’s painting, “Squirrel Point Light,” a 42-by-30-inch oil on canvas.
