BRIDGTON — Gallery 302 has welcomed woodcarver Gary Stugard of Minot to its fine art gallery. He is a self-taught artist who has been creating wooden pieces for more than 30 years.
Stugard carves and turns wood and incorporates metal, stone and other mediums to enhance his work. He uses domestic and exotic woods and enjoys using different finishes to bring out the wood grain. Some pieces are painted and look surprisingly like ceramic.
For inspiration, Stugard turns to nature, art décor, art nouveau and foreign cultures – especially Asian and Egyptian. His work is truly unique and interesting.
Gallery 302 is at 112 Main Street and is open from noon-5 p.m. weekdays, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, until December. For more information, visit www.gallery302.com or call 207-647-2787.
