An avid bird lover, Shane is dedicated to capturing the essence of birds in art, and then using her artwork to further education on, the appreciation of, and the conservation of wildlife.
Some thirty years ago, Shane truly fell in love with nature, and began her journey to expand her connection to the world around us. She sought out compelling – and sometimes unusual – opportunities to interact directly with the animals nearby, and this often meant volunteering through animal shelters and conservations. Shane often helped out banding hawks, or caring for sick, injured, or orphaned birds and animals.
“Hands-on direct interaction is dirty, hard work: though rewarding in its own right,” she says. “Contributing to this important work is an honor and a privilege not to be taken lightly, but oh, what a thrill it is to hold a Red-tailed Hawk in your hands, feel the warmth of its body, smell its soft and tangy feathers, look into its eyes, and then let it go soar up and away: back to its own world.”
Over time, Shane’s work expanded to include monitoring species of concern, such as Piping Plovers or Great Blue Herons. This prolonged observation of many bird species led to a deeper and more intimate understanding of bird’s physique: not just feather color and pattern, but body structure and size, along wing configuration.
While painting seems like the next logical step in this progression of connecting to nature, at the time Shane had next to no artistic experience. While always creatively inclined, Shane had never before picked up a paintbrush. A chance encounter gave Shane the push she needed to take the leap and begin using her brush to spread awareness about the conservational needs of wild life.
Shane’s watercolors are concise, and the eye is drawn directly to her subject: the bird. Frequently placed upon a white backdrop, Shane’s birds are anatomical marvels. Shane’s sensitivity to detail coupled with her unique knowledge of birds’ stances, attitudes, and habitats make her watercolors compelling. Her paintings also serve to highlight the bird’s unique adaptations and mechanisms, such as the shape of its beak or the length of its leg, which help it survive and thrive.
Clean and crisp, Shane’s work is full of movement and life. A longtime member of the Maine Audubon, Shane wants to use her art to spread the word about wildlife conservation.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Bell first unfolded her canvas-seated artist’s stool at the age of five while attending classes provided by the Cleveland Museum of Art. Throughout her years of college and formal art school, Bell became interested in 20th century Americana. She involved herself in architectural and antique preservation, home restoration, and so much more. Travelling all around America provided Bell the opportunity to form a unique world view, and lead to her desire to paint whatever off-the-beaten-track subject matter caught her fancy.
As a resident of Center Lovell, Bell likes to keep her subject matter local but relatively unknown. Her painting process begins with a trek across New England, scoping out interesting scenes via hiking, kayaking, or driving. Next comes photography, with Bell covering many different angles and views, sometimes returning to the same spot at different times throughout the day to see how the lighting changes. Bell then returns to her studio in Lovell and to start the sketching and painting process!
Working mainly in oils, Bell is well known for her painterly style and masterful use of color. She captures the purples and blues in snow, the pinks and oranges that can reflect on a pond from the autumn trees, and so much more! Her subject matter covers a mix of interesting still-lifes (cars and toys and animals, oh my!) and local landscapes.
Lovell's summer craft show is coming up soon! The Arts and Artisans Fair, to benefit the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, is happening this Saturday, August 19th. Located at our local elementary school, New Suncook Elementary, the Fair will run from 9:00 to 3:00. Come stop by and see many of your favorite local artists set up their booths! As we do every year, Harvest Gold will also have a booth at the fair featuring our gold and silver jewelry. 
Hope to see you there!
Happy Independence Day from your friends at Harvest Gold Gallery! Summer is now in full swing and more exciting news and events are around every corner. The sunny season goes by in the blink of an eye, so make sure you enjoy it with us before it tuns to winter!
The garden is growing well with the weekly rains we've been scheduled for here in Center Lovell, but we haven't been without our sunny days. The leafy greens, spinach and lettuce, have sprouted and are multiplying at a staggering rate. Our peas have blossomed, which we expect to harvest a good crop of this summer. We have invested in new sprinklers (Rain Tree 360 Microsprinklers) that make irrigating the beds a snap! The three amaryllis Lynda's Grandmother sent from Florida about 35 years ago from have turned into eighty flowers and a testament to Bill's green thumb. They are happy to have been moved outside. Lilac bushes have been trimmed, and the never-ending task of weeding continues. Next on the list is to fill our new flower box with soil so our already flowering strawberries can have a nice home in the sun.Looking ahead, a new patch of eager-to-be-eaten raspberries and an enormous crop of peaches. While in years past we have grown many delicious peaches from our own tree, last year a branch broke away and made us worried we would lose a good portion of the fruit. Thanks to some help from Eli Hutchins, from Hutch's Property and Tree, we were able to splint the branch back onto the tree. It seems like the harvest will be golden (pun intended)!
To play, you can do any combination of the activities on the list of forty given. Complete all the tasks in a single category from Outdoors, Food & Drink, History, Arts, Events, Landmarks, to Family, to win a matted print of the cover of the special Summer 2017 issue, along with a photo feature in an issue of Down East. If you're really determined, complete all forty tasks and you'll win a 10-year subscription to Down East, a matted souvenir photomosaic of your 40 selfies, and an invitation to visit the editorial offices of Down East in Rockport, where an identical photomosaic of your achievement will hang for one year! For proof of each task, regardless of how many you happen complete, submit a selfie at downeast.com/greatmainescavengerhunt. All entries are due before Labor Day. Below is a map of each activity provided by Down East. See if you can spot us!
We suspect a large portion of scavengers will be visiting our open house, coming up soon on Friday, July 14th from 3pm to 6pm. Each activity is a prize in itself, especially on our open house night, so let us know when you visit our garden if you're on the Great Maine Scavenger Hunt! We might even sneak into your selfie.😀
