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.
