LEWISTON — The Woman’s Hospital Association Rotating Art Gallery at Central Maine Medical Center has the paintings of Michael Everett and Judy Haas on display through February.

Everett took up oil painting to capture his impressions of the remote places of northern Maine. Many of his paintings are scenes from the Allagash and Saint John rivers.

He paints mostly landscapes of mostly familiar places. When not traveling throughout the Maine woods by canoe, snowshoes, or cross-country skis, he can be found painting outdoors in his North Auburn neighborhood.  He is a member of the Western Maine Art Group and is a frequent exhibitor at its Matolcsy Art Center in Norway.

Haas is a self-taught abstract watercolor/mixed media artist based in Richmond. She has been working with watercolor since 2022 the same year that she received her cancer diagnosis. During recovery from her surgeries and treatment, watercolor was a means to work through the emotions and struggles that came with it.  Watercolor has since become a means by which to process the world around her and at the same time serve as a catalyst for change.

The works on display may be purchased through the WHA Gift Shop located adjacent to the main lobby at the medical center. A percentage of sale proceeds benefits patients of CMMC.
