Art in the Café
A Community Art Space
Local Artists of all Styles
Every month, the Blue Hill Co-op features a local artist in the café. You may see paintings, photography, textiles, felted pieces, or any other type of visual art. We’re proud to showcase artists from the Blue Hill Peninsula and to help people find new additions to their personal collections.
This Month's Featured Art Show is Kristie Billings
Photography
Kristie Billings was born and raised on Deer Isle. Kristie comes from a long line of lovers of the sea. She is: a poet, a collector, and an observer. Kristie tends to gravitate to things others may pass by, and that some may find unsettling. "Life and art are sometimes uncomfortable. I like it when both make me take notice, hold my breath, and stand straighter." This show is called “Minus Something” it consists of all black and white film photography. Kristie shoots 35mm and 120mm film. Kristie has had her work shown at the Deer Isle Artists Association in numerous different shows, Ronald Harte's Art and Antique Gallery, solo exhibition at the Blue Hill Public Library, Shaw Gallery in Northeast Harbor, Friends of the Brooklin Public Library, and also was a featured artist for the Word Literary Arts Festival in Blue Hill, and others. Kristie also is the proud author of Sea Witch Photography and Poetry Forget-Me-Nots From a Mainer Growing Up published by Seapoint Books and Media LLC.
