Heidi Daub: Finding the Poem
Artist’s Reception: Wednesday, June 12, 5–7pm
Heidi Daub’s paintings often arise from her own poetry and prose, and her interrelation within the natural world. This show spans several series—Confluence, The Everyday, The Calling, The Deepness Within, and To Hear The Forest Speaking.
Heidi Daub was raised in upstate New York near the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers, and is a graduate of Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts. In addition to current group and solo painting exhibitions, online presence, and public readings, she’s produced two compilations of her paintings and poems: Eve Of A New Round (2008) and the artist catalog Pieces of Prayer (2015).
As curator and collaborator, she was guest exhibitor/reader at the Belfast Maine Poetry Festival, in 2005 and 2013: the 2017, 2018 Maine WORD. Festival, and included in two recent, (2019 and 2020) compilations of writers and visual artists published in Maine—A Dangerous New World: Maine Voices On The Climate Crisis, and Voices From The Coast: Maine Coast Heritage Trust celebrating 50 years. Recipient of the inaugural Artist in Residence in 2018 at the Alcyon Center, she currently maintains an active studio in Blue Hill, Maine. Her paintings are housed internationally in both private and corporate collections.
“Engaged in the interplay between various artistic disciplines, my paintings evolve from a stilling and attunement, coupled with an urgency to render our interdependence with the natural world. The resultant images of coalesced line, form, color and movement are a discovery born out of the complexities of love and daily experience.” — Heidi Daub
