Damariscotta artist Julie Babb will hold a solo exhibition of her paintings at the gallery of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Brunswick, March 28 through April 24.

Babb is well-known in the area for her detailed gouache paintings of birds and natural subjects. Gouache is an opaque form of watercolor which lends itself to the intense detail that she gives to her paintings. 

She has studied ornithology with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bird Biology course of home study. Babb also won a scholarship to attend the ornithology camp at Audubon’s Hog Island. 

She has exhibited in many area locations, including the Audubon Guildsland Farm, and a solo show at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay.  Babb has won many awards for her work, including Best of Show for several years at the Maine Sportsmen’s Alliance Wildlife Art Show in Augusta. 

Julie Babb teaches classes for Lincoln County Adult Education and River Arts in Damariscotta. She is represented by the Bayview Gallery in Brunswick, and seasonally, the Pemaquid Art Gallery at Lighthouse Park.  Her work can also be seen at www.covehousestudios.com

The Unitarian Universalist Church is located at 1 Middle St. and its gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
