The opening reception, open to the public, will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday July 13. “Pastels are incredibly vibrant and energizing to paint with. They are fun and messy and I have always felt more creative plein aire painting. I’m crazy about color and I enjoy replicating nature and playing with perspective,” Gallion says. She returned to art later in life by working with lithographs after her move from Kansas to Maine. She has been fortunate to have been taught, coached and mentored by Frances Hodsdon, a well admired Maine artist and print maker and teacher at Midcoast Printmaker, Inc.

She joined the Pastel Painters of Maine and has attended several paint outs and sold a pieces in auctions, paint outs, and at the annual members shows. She was a member of Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset and has had many pieces in juried and annual shows. She has served on the Board of Directors of the Maine Art Gallery and co-chaired two annual Art Gala Auctions. Gallion's work has appeared in juried exhibits at the Damariscotta Grill and the Portland Gallery, Pastel Painters of Maine exhibits, Maine Art Gallery, Pastel Painters of Cape Cod, and at BRAF. Gallion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and continues her work as a adult, child, and family therapist at Kennebec Behavior Health in Augusta, Maine.
