Staff and friends of the Good Tern Co-op are excited to present the winter Gallery art exhibition featuring the watercolor works of Fern Axelson, on display at the Co-op Gallery inside Hole in the Wall Bagels, at 754 Main Street in Rockland. A reception, free and open to the public, is scheduled for Sunday, January 5, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend, to meet the artist and enjoy light refreshments.

This exhibition reflects Axelson’s love for nature and her fascination with the small yet beautiful moments found outdoors. She is fascinated with the surreal energy of the natural world. A 25-year-old Maine-based artist originally from the Colorado mountains, Axelson creates joyful, vibrant, and dreamlike watercolor paintings inspired by nature. This collection is deeply rooted in her connection to nature and artistic practice, which she credits with sustaining her mental resilience during years spent homebound with chronic illness and disability. In addition to her art, she is a dedicated Good Tern Co-op working member and a local backyard homesteader.

If you can’t make it to the reception, stop by anytime through the end of March to view these works—and maybe grab a tasty bite to eat: Hole in the Wall is open daily 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. year-round.
