The Western Maine Art Group will host a First Friday Reception featuring the artwork of Erica Christensen from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, July 7, at the Main Street Gallery in Norway.

Christensen’s watercolors celebrate Maine’s coast, birds, and flowers. Her goal is to convey a sense of place and a reflection of our environment in all its beauty. She’s enjoying the challenge of learning how to combine the imaginative part of painting with hands-on technique.

The exhibit includes original paintings, prints, and notecards and will be on display from July 7 through July 30. Refreshments will be served at the reception.

The gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. Main Street Gallery is located at 426 Main Street in Norway. For more information, visit westernmaineartgroup.org or write to westernmaineartgroup@gmail.com.
