SUMMARY:People-Nature-Art With Bird Author Lillian Stokes
DESCRIPTION:In this engaging talk filled with beautiful photography\, Lillian Stokes will explore the many ways people connect with birds and nature\, whether birding\, photography\, bird-feeding\, art\, or even experiencing a spiritual and uplifting bond that can change one’s life and is open to all. The science of connecting has many new studies that tell us everyday encounters with birds result in less stress\, anxiety and depression. The profound value of connecting with birds and nature provides personal health and wellness benefits\, a greater appreciation and understanding of the creatures we share the planet with\, and fosters a desire to protect and conserve that which we love\, she says. \nLillian is an award-winning coauthor (with her late husband Don) and photographer of 35 Stokes Guides\, which have sold more than 6 million copies nationwide. Her latest guide is The Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada with coauthor Matthew A. Young\, which The American Birding Association chose as one of the Best Bird Books of 2024. She was also a producer\, videographer\, and co-host of two national PBS bird-watching TV series that were seen by about 40 million viewers. For more than 35 years\, she has educated the birding public\, giving keynote talks at birding festivals and organizations nationwide. \n“What\,” she asks “is the spark that ignites the fire that becomes the destiny of human-nature bonding? What is the moment in time and space\, like the long football pass that becomes the touchdown\, when you know in your soul you connect and are hooked?”

SUMMARY:People-Nature-Art with Sculptor Spencer Tinkham
DESCRIPTION:Spencer Tinkham is a self-taught\, award-winning American wood sculptor and multidisciplinary artist known for creating intricate macro- and micro-sculptures of birds and wildlife from reclaimed and salvaged material. His paintings\, sculptures\, and installations explore perception\, ecological change\, and natural history. \nThe Gilley is thrilled to bring him to Maine in September as the museum’s People-Nature-Art presenter. While here\, he will be working with children in local schools. \nWorking with carved wood\, painting\, and installation\, Tinkham creates forms that move between realism and abstraction. Through scale\, repetition\, and material tension\, his work transforms patterns found in nature into physical encounters that connect biological form with human emotion. Rather than depicting the natural world directly\, the work shifts familiar forms into psychologically charged states\, inviting viewers to reconsider how they perceive and relate to the living world. \nThe ecological fates of birds and humans are intertwined\,” he says. “I share specific stories of birds as a witness to natural and manmade change. Their fragile beauty and unsung voices become magnified so as not to be missed by the careless eye.”

SUMMARY:Skywatching: Human-Bird Relationships Through Time feat. Dr. Bonnie Newsom\, Angi King Johnson\, and Olivia Olson (Schoodic Institute's Summer Lecture Series)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, September 8 at 7:00pm for Skywatching: Human-Bird Relationships Through Time\, our 2026 Summer Lecture Series closing event featuring Dr. Bonnie Newsom (Associate Professor of Anthropology and Associate Faculty in the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine)\, Angi King Johnson (interpretive naturalist and raptor specialist)\, and Olivia Olson (M.S. University of Maine and Public Programs and Volunteer Manager at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum). \nAs the autumn winds increase and the days shorten\, Acadia experiences waves of migrating sea and shore birds\, warblers\, and raptors\, an annual phenomenon that provides an opportunity to consider human relationships with birds. In this panel discussion\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will present on Wabanaki cultural associations with birds. These stories are grounded in gifts and creations Wabanaki ancestors left behind in shell mounds\, and Olivia Olson will share her analysis of bird-related materials recovered from cultural heritage spaces in and beyond Acadia. Angi King Johnston\, lead volunteer for the Cadillac Mountain Hawk Watch\, will make connections from past to present\, describing trends observed over the last thirty years of watching the skies from the highest mountain on the East Coast. \nRegister online at https://schoodicinstitute.org/event/summer-lecture-series-skywatching/ \nSchoodic Institute’s 2026 Summer Lecture Series events are free\, thanks to support from our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:People-Nature-Art with Painter Sean Murtha
DESCRIPTION:Throughout his life\, Sean Murtha’s interest in science and nature never waned\, even as he pursued a degree in art. In fact\, science and nature usually formed the basis for his artwork. In 1995\, five years after he earned an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn\, N.Y.\, he found the perfect marriage of art and natural science when he began working for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. There he learned the art of diorama background painting\, a rare skill he continues to use at museums to this day.\nThe Wendell Gilley Museum welcomes him on Tuesday\, Aug. 18 as the People-Nature-Art presenter for the month. There will be an in-person artist’s reception at 6 p.m. at the Gilley\, followed by a presentation at 7 p.m. that will happen in person\, and livecast online simultaneously. Admission is free but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Swordfish in Wabanaki Homeland
DESCRIPTION:Archaeological sites along the Maine coast show that swordfish existed in the Gulf of Maine between approximately 5\,500 and 3\,700 years ago. Excavations at multiple Maine sites have produced swordfish rostra\, vertebrae\, and other remains\, indicating that Wabanaki ancestors harvested and processed these large fish for millennia. In this presentation\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will discuss the presence of swordfish in Wabanaki homeland and what these archaeological data reveal about past marine conditions\, Wabanaki fishing practices\, and how climate change affected local ecosystems. Through archaeological study of swordfish remains from the Gulf of Maine\, we can appreciate the sophisticated relationship Indigenous peoples had with swordfish specifically\, and the marine environment more broadly.

SUMMARY:ART TALK by Midcoast Painter Sam Cady on  Midcoast Painter Cicely Aikman
DESCRIPTION:Bartlett Woods Retirement Community welcomes renowned Maine painter Sam Cady to speak about legendary Maine painter Cicely Aikman on Monday\, July 13th\, from 10-11am. The free ART TALK coincides with the current exhibition “CHICKADEES\, ALLIGATORS AND STONEHENGE\,” featuring the work of Cicely Aikman\, along with Janice Kasper and Dirk McDonnell. Located at 20 Bartlett Drive (just off Talbot Avenue between Broadway and Old County Road)\, the non-profit retirement community continues its commitment to its Art at Bartlett Program through hosting this public program.\nBoth Cady and Aikman are represented by Caldbeck Gallery in Rockland\, ME. The exhibition is on loan from the Gallery through August 28th; public hours are Sunday through Friday\, 9-4pm. Parking along the Bartlett driveway is suggested.\nAbout the Artists:\nSam Cady (American b. 1943). Born in Boothbay Harbor\, Maine and raised in a leafy suburb of Boston\, Sam Cady is a self-described New Englander. After receiving a BA at the University of New Hampshire (1965) and a MFA at Indiana University (1967)\, Cady taught art for 2 years in New Hampshire before moving to New York City in 1969. He lived and worked on the lower east side of Manhattan and in Hoboken\, NJ for most of the next 30 years exhibiting his work and teaching in the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts. With exposure to all the “isms” of recent American art he found his way with realism\, pop\, and minimalist influences from Hopper\, Oldenburg and Kelly often with shaped or cutout oil on canvas images of bits and pieces of the everyday world. His first major exposure was in the 1975 Whitney Museum Biennial and continued along with regular gallery exhibitions in NY\, Boston and Rockland\, Maine with other museum and gallery shows around the country and in Japan. After being in the city for 30 years he moved to Friendship\, Maine (where he had summered as a child) in 2000\, built a studio and continued to work\, exhibit\, and teach. He is in many private\, corporate\, and museum collections around the country and was the recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant and an American Academy of Arts and Letters purchase prize. His aim throughout has been to explore and celebrate both the constructed and natural worlds that we are all surrounded by (courtesy Anderson Yezerski Gallery).\nCicely Aikman (American 1923-2013). Born in Texas\, where she lived until the age of six\, Aikman spent her childhood in Los Angeles – a child of the west – before going to high school in Washington D.C. She studied at the Corcoran School of Fine Arts (1938-40)\, the University of Chicago (1940-42)\, and the Art Student League with mentor Morris Cantor (1942-1946). Aikman reflected “This was a serious art education – our only regret was that due to World War ll\, we could not go to Europe\, in particular to Paris to see\, first-hand\, the works of Picasso and Matisse.”\nAfter the war\, Aikman traveled to Italy by boat with her young son\, Paul\, and lived in bohemian circles with others\, drawn like Aikman\, to the cultural life in Rome\, Paris and elsewhere. Back in New York\, Aikman began showing her work along with her downtown peers\, among them Lois Dodd\, Rudy Burkhardt and Gretna Campbell at the Pyramid Gallery. In the forties and fifties\, Aikman painted winters in the city and summers in Provincetown\, MA. She exhibited in New York with Green Mountain Gallery\, the Blue Mountain Gallery\, the Artists’ Gallery\, the Westbeth Gallery\, and with the Provincetown Art Association\, while raising her son and holding down a series of jobs. She moved to Maine in 1973 with her second husband\, Fred Scherer\, whom she had met through her work at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Aikman began to show at Caldbeck Gallery in 1990. Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums\, including the Farnsworth Art Museum\, The Portland Museum of Art\, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art and Roundtop Center for the Arts. Her work “January”\, was included in WINTER IN MAINE by Carl Little\, published by Down East Books. Aikman maintained a vigorous studio practice\, splitting her time between Friendship\, Maine and the Indian River in Florida. In 2005\, Aikman and Scherer moved to Brattleboro\, Vermont where they continued to live and work until 2013 (courtesy Caldbeck Gallery). https://www.cicelyaikman.com/\nFor further information at the artists\, contact: Caldbeck Gallery\, 12 Elm Street\, Rockland\, Maine 04841.
