LEWISTON – The artwork of Dan Cake of Auburn is being featured during July by the Woman’s Hospital Association of Central Maine Medical Center.

Cake said, “At about the age of 4, I realized the creative process was going to be an important part of who I am; always finding great pleasure in drawing and painting.”

He attended the Portland School of Art after high school. He enlisted in the the Navy and worked in graphic arts . He subsequently worked for a number of printing companies in Maine and is a graphic artist for Geiger in Lewiston.

Cake works with a number of mediums, including opaque watercolor, pen and ink, scratchboard, silverpoint and graphite. He said, “My work these days tends to be realistic and detailed in nature. The work spans a range of subject matter.”

Cake has had a number of shows and won prizes along the way. He said, “For me, the process seems to be the thing I enjoy most. I love to tap into creative thought and its endless possibilities. Occasionally diving into uncharted waters and suddenly discovering a new path, it can be very exhilarating.”
