RANGELEY — The Lakeside Contemporary Art Gallery will present Lily Webber in an exhibit opening July 24 and continuing through Aug. 21.

An artist’s reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 26. This is Webber’s first solo exhibition at LCAG, located in the lobby of the Rangeley Friends of the Arts Lakeside Theater, 2493 Main St.

A native of the Rangeley area and graduate of Rangeley Lakes Regional School, Lily Webber works in acrylics, colored pencils, ink, encaustic, wood and scavenged materials to create her illustrative studies and elaborate tableaus.

A restless imagination and quirky obsession with details inspires her to tell broad, inventive tales about otherworldly creatures, domestic life and the natural world.

Webber has produced a book, “Silas J. Yeti,” that is a modern tale reimagining the child’s journey through the vision of characters who are distinctly original and clever alternatives to the traditional Maine landscape tropes.

Webber’s work often incorporates touches of social and political commentary.

In addition to debuting her book, the artist will be exhibiting driftwood sculpture, encaustic work and abstract acrylics on canvas. Copies of “Silas J. Yeti” will be available at Webber’s opening reception.

A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, Massachusetts, she teaches K-5 art at Rangeley Lakes Regional School and lives in Rangeley with her husband and daughter.

The unique mixed-media work of Lily Webber will be featured in a solo exhibit at the Lakeside Contemporary Art Gallery in Rangeley from July 24 to Aug. 21. An artist’s reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 26 at the gallery located at 2493 Main St.
