GUEST ARTIST Elaine Coffee's Commissioned Commemorative Painting

  GUEST ARTIST Elaine Coffee's Commissioned Commemorative Painting

Ms. Coffee  has been commissioned to create this year's commemorative painting and limited edition lithograph, which was unveiled at a reception in her honor on June 19th as part of the Orleans Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event.  Limited edition prints of the work will be available during the concert on Saturday, August 24th at Eldredge Field in Orleans from 5-7 pm.   After earning a degree in fine art Elaine Coffee's journey led her through the worlds of advertising and medical illustration, as well as writing and editing for a food magazine.  This eclectic background afforded her the  opportunity to observe interesting lifestyles and Coffee's desire to capture their individual gesture and mood would define her direction as a painter today.   In her own words, Elaine Coffee's mature work is an "exercise in engineering." Working elements from various sources into one coherent picture, she acts like a theater director, casting interesting characters from disparate venues and endeavoring to portray them as part of one harmonious scene. Coffee is careful to articulate that her paintings are more about the individual than the overall arrangement.

LUCKY for our Bidding for Good guests, this auction item will be open to bid upon up until the August 19th Pop in the Park Auction date.
