From @super.blaster: Fishing with friend, cohort and brilliant painter @tessagreeneobrien as we attempt to break my 10+ year fishing curse of never catching ANY fish. As I was packing the car the morning I left for Hewnoaks, my neighbor Doug says, "Oh, are you going to Kezar Lake?? You've GOTTA bring your poles. Last time I was there, I caught a fish with every cast! Use worms and go at sunrise or sunset." Doug has experienced my curse first-hand so he was excited to set me up. Cut to gin & tonics with Tessa on the Viking Ct back porch. I tell her my tales of fish problems, and realizing it's just about sunset, Tessa suggests we try our luck. She catches about a 3" fish and I catch nothing. We go for an extended canoe paddle the next morning at sunrise and don't even get a bite. Tessa declares that I am not only on a bad streak, but a fish COOLER, which I cannot deny. On my last swim at Hewnoaks, i saw an 18" bass pass right under the dock we were fishing off.

Oh hi there, I’m Ian and I’m doing an IG takeover this week! I’m a sound and performance artist based out of South Portland, Maine. I live there with my amazing partner @ameliagpersans and our two kids. I recently got the incredible opportunity to work on my practice at Hewnoaks artist residency, and I want to how you some pictures I took there. This picture is of Superblaster. He is the project I was working on at Hewnoaks. Tune into the IG stories @hewnoaks, and I’ll tell you all about it. And keep an eye on @super.blaster or go to www.mrsuperblaster.com for upcoming Authentic Hewnoaks-Made Material.

Following a year of dormancy, the board enjoyed an evening at Hewnoaks touring the property, reconnecting, and discussing the future.

Hewnoaks’ location in Lovell, ME on Lake Kezar offers the perfect setting for artists to retreat and focus deeply on their craft. We are grateful to everyone who made “coming back” possible this year. Operating expenses have increased (the property required a lot of TLC after a year of dormancy) and we hope you will consider a gift of any size to support our 2021 residents. Link in bio.

REPOST from @bri_n: “Wowowow #Hewnoaks was an absolute dream! The first image is where I worked - a gorgeous screen room facing trees high on a hill above the water! I have images of the sculpture I made there, but I’m waiting to share until it’s completely finished (a week or so out, yet). But the inspiration from all the creative energy was incredible!”

Here’s an oldie of Douglas Volk painting a soldier in his Hewnoaks studio. If you could stay at Hewnoaks for a week, what would you work on?

REPOST from @john.p.gardiner “Final morning here on #kezarlake at #hewnoaks Artist Colony. So much positive energy and calm this passed week. The gratitude I feel for my time here and this amazing planet we call home are overwhelming. In a fortuitous turn of events I caught site of a majestic pair of pandimensional pentapods gazing out at the water.” Experiences like these are made possible through generous support of our donors. Please consider making a gift to Hewnoaks this summer to directly support artists in our 2021 residency program. Link in bio.
