Portland Press Herald’s Jorge S. Arango reviews 'The Painted State' at Greenhut Galleries:
Arango writes, “After a winter that felt unrelentingly gray and erratic (one day 53 degrees, another 7), some of us could use a reminder of why we live in the great state of Maine. Enter the biennial landscape show “Maine: The Painted State” at Greenhut Galleries (through May 27, 2023). “Painted State” features work by a nearly complete roster of Greenhut’s artists, who have been adept at depicting the infinitely variable topographies, moods and seasons of Maine. I know that for me, several of the wintry scenes here would have been helpful to have on my wall in the depths of February’s chill… Alison Rector’s “Beach Rose” concentrates her composition on this familiar coastal flora, which dominates the center of the painting against a seascape rendered in a slightly hazy summer heat that is palpable.”
