Maine Photography on Display at FAME

The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) is displaying the work of David Clinard, a professional Maine artist specializing in photography. 

FAME Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth Bordowitz stated:  “We are proud to support and recognize Maine artists and to bring public attention to the arts and artists who enrich our society and strengthen our communities.  FAME is pleased to provide an opportunity for Maine citizens to view Mr. Clinard’s beautiful photos of various Maine scenes.” 

Clinard’s interest in photography dates back to his childhood, when he first used an old Brownie box camera.  He is mostly self-taught, with the exception of black and white photography courses he completed at the University of Maine at Augusta and Unity College.   

Clinard is interested in capturing the simple things the natural world provides so well, such as shapes, designs, colors, contrasts, and patterns.  He looks for the “thing in itself” and from that captures many beautiful images.   

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

The public may view the Clinard exhibition 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 95.  The exhibit is open to the public until the middle of April, with a reception on Thursday, March 25, from 5 to 7 p.m.
