KINGFIELD — The next Kingfield Friday Artwalk is scheduled for 5-7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1.

High Peaks Artisan Guild has a new artist member, a photographer who also makes goat milk soap because of her goat, Buttercup. Beth Main is a photographer, counselor and dairy goat breeder. She has a deep appreciation for the “uncomplicatedness” of farm life and rural western Maine. Her favorite photography subjects are the animals on her farm in Phillips where she and her husband live.

“They all have such unique personalities,” Main said, according to a news release from Patty Thomas with the artwalk. “I see the beauty in all of them. I love capturing their expressions and the way they relate to each other.” Main says she is thrilled to be able to share her images at the High Peaks Artisan Guild. Her portfolio is also online.
