Sandra Pealer

NORWAY — Main Street Gallery will feature Sandra Pealer as Artist of the Month in July. A festive reception will be held on July 8 from 5 until 7 pm at 426 Main Street, Norway, Maine. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Please join us for refreshments and a chance to meet the artist.

Sandra paints from her studio in Paris. She has been painting scenes since 2001 when she first stayed on Monhegan Island (and where she returned frequently to paint). She says that Maine is a tremendous inspiration, providing light and subject matter for landscapes and still life, particularly flowers and outcroppings of rocks. She enjoys including figures in her work and will feature all of the above in her July exhibition.

Sandra is a painter who delights in the medium of watercolor. She has painted from home studios in Maine, Vermont, Lake Placid, New York, and West Virginia for over 49 years. Sandra loves the way that watercolor depicts light, shadow, and mystery.

Sandra has earned signature status in the Philadelphia, West Virginia, North East, and Vermont Watercolor Societies, and is a sustaining member of the American and National Watercolor Societies. Sandra’s work is collectible and can be found in collections throughout the United States and Canada. Her work may be seen at Birds of a Feather Gallery in Rangeley, River Arts Gallery in Damariscotta, and Main Street Gallery in Norway among other venues.

Sandra was featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine as “One of the Best Watermedia Paintings of 2020, showcased in the February 2021 issue with the painting “Artist at Rest” from WVWS Aqueous Exhibition Best of Show category, and also featured in Watercolor Magazine as “One of the Top 26 Watermedia Paintings of 2016 “ showcased in the February 2017 issue with the painting “Landline” from WVWS Aqueous Exhibition Best of Show category.
