Sarah Greenier of Bath and Hannah Ineson of Damariscotta are the featured summer artists through Sept. 8 at Mae’s Café & Bakery, located at 160 Centre Street in Bath.

Both artists are long-time professionals, whose oil and watercolor paintings depict Maine coastal life at its best.

Sarah Greenier, who summered and spent much of her youth on Orr’s Island, studied graphic design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and Impressionist painting with John C. Traynor in Swansea, New Hampshire. She went on to work as a graphic artist and art director for 10 years, before devoting herself to full-time to painting in 1996.

For many years, Greenier exhibited her oil and watercolor paintings at outdoor art shows throughout Maine and New England, where she won numerous awards. In 2006, she and her husband opened the Greenier Studio/Gallery at 428 Middle Street, Bath where she shows her quintessential Maine coast oil paintings.

Hannah Ineson, a Maine resident since 1972, is an oil and watercolor painter and has had her work featured on note cards at L.L. Bean. Her paintings are also in many private collections in Maine in Florida, where she is represented in the Everglades National Park Big Cypress Preserve.

For the past eight years, Ineson has focused primarily on oil painting, for which she uses the palette knife almost exclusively, producing a sculptural surface. She is inspired by the local natural landscape, whether it is the Florida Everglades or the Maine coast.

Ineson is a juried member of the Pemaquid Gallery at Art in Lighthouse Park. For more information on this artist, visit www.hannahineson.com.
