First Federal Savings Bank, in conjunction with Boothbay Region Art Foundation, is pleased to be hosting the work of Cally Peaco at their 41 Townsend Avenue location in Boothbay Harbor.

Cally Peaco began her career in the field of photography starting with a Brownie camera, progressing to 35 mm’s to digital equipment. She prefers the impact of black and white images, but still experiments with what she calls “surprises in color.”

Growing up on a dairy farm in western Maine, Peaco documented traditions of rural life that included milking the cows, butter-making, harness racing and prize winning contestants from county fairs, among other memorable themes.

As a seasoned photographer, she specializes in subjects of life’s ordinary moments and strives to capture those daily encounters that reveal magic- found everywhere- if you look for it. Clouds, a rainy window, water’s reflections, shadow patterns and sunlit petals are but a few of nature’s viewpoints just waiting to be caught by the camera’s eye.

Callie Peaco is a member, and exhibiting artist, at Boothbay Region Art Foundation and River Arts Gallery in Damariscotta. She has shown her work at various galleries, festivals and fairs in Midcoast and western Maine.
