Rising Tide is pleased to present Stephen Busch from South Bristol, Maine as the Café Artist for the month of November.

Busch has studied in many areas of Connecticut and Maine since starting in 1973. He has had many solo exhibitions and participated in juried and group exhibitions. He won Honorable Mention at the SONO Arts Festival in 1997. His works can also be seen on various books and poetry journals.

“Our natural world is an ever-changing, complex, colorful and multi-dimensional continuum that has amazed me since childhood,” said Busch. “A flicker in time offers an amazing slice of this continuum – leaves turned in the wind, the shadow of a cloud, a sea breaking on a ledge, a bird in flight. As an artist, whether I am painting a seascape, a landscape, or anything else, and whether painting en plein air, in the studio, from memory or notes, I try to capture these moments in my pictures in a way that they may stimulate the emotions of the viewer.”

Rising Tide is a cooperatively owned business, governed by its member-owners, and is located at 323 Main Street, Damariscotta.
