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:Self Expression Through Nature Photography
DESCRIPTION:This full-day workshop takes place on Saturday\, Oct. 3\, and runs from approximately 5:30am to 6:30pm. It is led by local professional photographer\, J.K. Putnam\, and is designed to maximize learning opportunities and provide guidance on creating the kind of images you want to create. From sunrise to sunset\, you will alternate between traveling around Acadia taking photos\, and classroom time where we discuss a range of topics that lead to successful\, self-expressive image-making. There will also be individual instruction based on your goals and your questions. \nIt is all about making meaningful images. In the field\, we’ll learn how to pivot and adapt our photographic approach. In the classroom\, we’ll dive into what it takes to express ourselves through our photos\, going beyond technique to find personal connection and creative intention.

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: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:People-Nature-Art with sculptor and photographer Alex Turanski
DESCRIPTION:Alex Turanski began balancing stones (never in the national park!) in 2018 as a therapeutic practice. It was a way to exercise pure\, raw focus and to dissolve his distractions. “The act of balance fully engages me in the raw present-moment\,” he says. “In a way\, I feel that I become as present and still as the stones I engage with. I often try to find the most difficult balance points as a way to push myself deeper into a meditative practice of mind-body coordination.” Alex is the People-Nature-Art featured artist for July. \nJoin him at the Gilley on Tuesday\, July 28 for an artist’s reception at 6pm followed at 7pm by a presentation and live demonstration of his work. Alex will start with an overview of the art form and its connection to nature for him. Then he will proceed to a live demonstration and create an original sculpture inside the Gilley. There is no fee to attend\, but registration is requested to facilitate staging of this event. Sign up at www.wendellgilleymuseum.org/calendar. \nAlex’s finished sculptures are aesthetic art pieces that can be exhibited and photographed. His repertoire has grown to include live demonstrations and installations\, designing and producing his signature Rock Stack Playing Cards\, creating one-of-a-kind rock stack puzzle sets\, and filming and editing balancing videos. He received the award for Best Set Design for the stonework he created and installed for the Isle Theatre Company’s production of Do Not Move Stones\, which also won the Broadway World 2021 Maine Awards for Best Production of the Year.
