Maine Artist's Work on Display at FAME

The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) is currently displaying the work of Connie Henderson, a watercolor artist from Dixmont, Maine. 

“FAME is pleased to support Maine artists and benefits from the beautiful art adorning our hallways,” stated FAME Chief Executive Officer Beth Bordowitz.   

Henderson was born in Portland, Maine, and began painting during her childhood.  She won her first prize at the age of ten.  She subsequently studied under several well-known artists and earned a degree in fine arts from the University of Maine.  She enjoys passing on to her students what she has learned from her past teachers.   

Henderson has received several awards and was accepted into the juried Senior Festival Show at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast.  She also was accepted into the juried part of the Maine Public Broadcasting Network auction. 

Henderson currently exhibits at the Works of Hand Gallery in Winter Harbor, Maine.  She has been offering workshops for over thirty years.  Henderson’s works can be viewed online at www.dirigoroadgallery.com. 

FAME hopes to bring visibility to the achievements of Maine artists by providing an opportunity to exhibit their artwork and to inspire passion about art in others. 

The public may view the exhibition at the FAME office Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  The FAME building is located at 5 Community Drive, Augusta, Exit 112 off Interstate 95.  The exhibit is open to the public until mid-October.
