Maine Artist Gregory Dunham Receives Top Awards
at Rockport Art Association Summer Exhibits

Gregory Dunham, who is represented by Courthouse Gallery Fine Art, Ellsworth, Maine, recently received attention from several notable sources for a body of work, which he created for his one-man show at Courthouse Gallery in 2008. Dunham received three awards from the Rockport Art Association in Massachusetts, one in each of its first three 2009 summer exhibitions.

“Swim Beach Skiffs, Monhegan” was awarded the Lydia & Chester Roberts Award for an outstanding Traditional Work of Art in the first Rockport Art Association exhibition, “Up for Repairs, Gloucester Marine Railway” won the Amee B. Davis Memorial Award in the second exhibition, and "Fish Beach, Monhegan" received the John F. & Margaret Kieran Award for Landscape Painting in the third exhibition.

“Swim Beach Skiffs, Monhegan,” 2007, watercolor, 15 x 22 inches

Two of Dunham's watercolors, “Swim Beach Skiffs” and “Props” were also featured in “Artists of the Working Waterfront,” an article by Carl Little in the 2009 May issue of Maine Boats Homes & Harbors. As a follow up to the article, Little selected four of Dunham’s watercolors for “Painters of the Maine Waterfront,” an exhibition curated by Little at the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport, Maine. The exhibit took place in September and October 2009.

Dunham was also a featured artist in the Maine Home & Design’s April issue in their annual artist listing of Maine’s most intriguing artists “Ones to Watch - A look at Maine's emerging artists commanding attention."

Dunhams’s watercolor “Up for Repairs, Gloucester Marine Railway” was included in the 95th Anniversary Exhibition of the Guild of Boston Artists this past September. Dunham was featured this “Maine Artists and the Figure,” a 2009 summer exhibit at Courthouse Gallery and is currently included in their Small Works 2009 exhibit, which opens December 3, 2009.
