ROCKLAND — Carver Hill Gallery will host an artist talk with America Martin, Saturday, Aug. 24, at 1 p.m., at her solo show at The Yellow Barn Pop-Up location (20 Winter Street Rockland, across from CMCA). There will be a meet and greet at 12:30 p.m., and a Q & A after. Refreshments will be served.

The event is free, open to the public, and no reservations are necessary. Martin will discuss the new work in her solo show, Outdoors 'til Dusk, inspired by life in Maine with her new family.

According to America, "This current show feels perhaps a bit more narrative than past exhibitions – sea sirens, beaches, mermaid’s stories told by creatures – happy yellows and dogs in canoes. The hues remind me of when you stay out of doors ‘til the dusk and bugs drive you in. These pieces are happy thoughts, stories I have remembered and made up, bits of sunshine and salt and sea that I put on canvas. They express the quiet joy of things that make me think of Maine."
 
The solo show is open daily and runs through September 2. The artist talk will run approximately 1 hour.
