Emy's vivid, often pulsating paintings suggest both the mystical and the fanciful. Her use of color is bold and reveals a true zest for life.

Featured Works

this Collection
Each month, the Tidemark Gallery features a larger display of an artist(s) work in our back gallary. This gallery space gives the artist(s) an opportunity to exhibit a broader range of their work.
As November returns with shorter, colder days our thoughts may take flight remembering warmer weather or exotic places. This month’s exhibit at the Tidemark Gallery, Waldoboro, feeds those dreams with a guest show titled “Port Clyde to Paris.” The show features the silver gelatin photographs of Port Clyde artist, Kelli LK Haines.
Haines works primarily in 4x5 format photography using a 1952 Crown Graflex camera with slow speed black and white film. This process enables her to create strong negatives, which allows Haines more creativity in the darkroom.
A native of Bath and lifelong student of photography, Haines honed her craft through the mentorship of noted photographer Todd Webb.
Haines’ talent was recognized by her selection to participate in the 2002 Carina Residency program on Monhegan Island. The Carina Residency is a competitive artist residency program administered by the Monhegan Artists’ Residency Corporation (MARC) and the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. Haines also formerly taught photography at the University of Maine-Augusta campus in Lewiston.
Port Clyde to Paris opens on Wednesday, November 5, and runs through December 6, 2008.
