Marvel Wynn
(1915-2002)

Marvel Wynn received her first oil paint set at the age of 14, and began seriously studying art at the Margaret Morrison School at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon) in Pittsburgh. She later studied at the Cleveland Art Institute, taking classes with John Tyrol, one of her favorite painters; she also studied with figure painters Sigmund Abeles and Jan DeRuth. Marvel painted primarily figures of women, although a man, a landscape or a seascape could occasionally draw her attention, and was greatly influenced by artists Gustav Klimpt and Will Barnet. Her works have appeared in the National Painting Show at the Butler Institute of Art in Youngstown, Ohio; the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Maine; in one-person shows at Bowdoin College (Brunswick, Maine), the Performing Arts Center and the Portland Ballet Company (both in Portland, Maine); and at the Mast Cove Gallery in Kennebunkport, Maine, for 22 years, including several one-person shows. In 1975, Marvel received the International Women’s Year Award for “Outstanding Cultural Contributions and Dedication to Women and Art.”

Lois Adams Goldstone

Lois Adams Goldstone was born in Paris, France, grew up in New York City, and lived in Seattle, Washington, and Westchester County, New York, as well as Bangor and Boothbay, Maine. After more than 35 years of painting in the Boothbay region, she has recently relocated to Topsham, Maine and a studio in nearby Brunswick.
Although she is from a family of artists, Lois’ early adulthood was too consumed with the process of raising more than a respectable number of children to devote significant time and effort to her present calling. Moving to Maine more than three decades ago changed all that, and the world of art became a mostly full-time passion, study, and occupation. Except for occasional forays West and Southwest, the woods, fields and shores of Maine have dominated her career ventures. The State has become her primary muse; her paintings assure us that there is still endless beauty and magic in this struggling world as we view it beyond our personal boundaries.
Lois’ paintings, both oils and pastels, are seldom literal translations of an observed scene, but reflect the sense of joy and awe experienced when viewing nature’s offerings. They attempt to provoke in their use of color, achieving an artful balance between impression and reality.
Lois is represented primarily by the Wiscasset Bay Gallery. She has enjoyed many one-person shows and exhibits regularly in regional juried shows including the Maine Art Gallery, Wiscasset, and the Boothbay Region Art Foundation. She was President of the Art Foundation in Boothbay Harbor from 1992 – 1996 and was chosen by Governor Angus King to create his Christmas card from the Blaine House.

Anthony Muench

Anthony Muench is a practicing landscape architect living in Brunswick, Maine. He received his education at the Rhode Island School of Design. Through the landscape design process, he has continually referred back to hand drawing as an important communications tool. He uses hand drawn renderings for many project presentations.
As an extension of landscape architectural design he, over time, has created many landscape pastel drawings and watercolor paintings. Anthony’s watercolors were shown at the Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset, Maine in the fall of 2007.
