Join us for a special Gallery Tour and Sail with Wendy Turner: Island Light: Art and a Sail
The evening will start with a gallery tour with the artist at her exhibit at Discover Portsmouth from 4:00-5:00 followed by a sunset sail on the Gundalow with the artist from 5:30-7:30
Born in Boston in 1954, Turner grew up on Cutts Island in Kittery Point, Maine. She received her BFA and MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. After living in Sedona, Arizona, the San Francisco Bay area and Key West, she returned to Maine in 1981 where she lives at Sea Hill Farm, raising alpacas with her wife, Paula Ickeringill. Turner paints in a studio on their farm in Kittery Point.
Turner’s work is in many private and corporate collections including Fidelity Investments, Arthur Anderson, Jefferson Pilot, General Electric and Burger King. The national exhibition “Watercolor, USA” selected her paintings in both 2002 and 2004. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Ogunquit Museum of American Art. Down East, Maine Boats and Harbors, and American Artist Magazines have published feature articles on Turner’s art. Her watercolor, “Rocks, Appledore”, was included in the book, Splash 7, a celebration of light – the best in watercolor. Her paintings may be seen locally at the Kennedy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH and elsewhere at the Francesca Anderson Fine Art, Lexington, MA., the Courthouse Gallery, Ellsworth, ME, and the George Marshall Store Gallery, York, ME.
