NORWAY —The Western Maine Art Group begins its Spring season with a First Friday Reception April 1 from 5-7 p.m. at the Matolcsy Art Center, 480 Main Street, in Norway. This new exhibit will feature the artwork of Michael Ranucci and guest artists.

A painter for many years, Michael Ranucci’s work is in collections locally and across the United States. He is an elected member in the Connecticut Academy of Fine Art and the Hudson Valley Art Association. His work ranges from refined studio work to lively Plein air works. Primarily an oil painter, his work also includes charcoal and other drawing methods. He has offered local workshops and instruction at his home studio for more than 12 years.

His work is interpretive and seeks to bring out an aesthetic he sees in each subject. Nature is his guide for reference, but also for departure. He seeks only the aesthetic he sees in his mind’s eye – to create a beautiful painting.

As part of this exhibit, Mr. Ranucci has invited several of his colleagues to contribute their artwork.

This exhibit will be open Saturday afternoons from noon to three in April, by appointment, and whenever else the “Open” flag is displayed.

Please join the Western Maine Art Group in celebrating this event. For more information, art classes, demonstrations, and special trips sponsored by the WMAG visit our Facebook page: facebook.com/WesternMaineArtGroup. The gallery is free and open to the public.
