SUMMARY:ME: Vaino Kola Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Living Here Feels Like I am In My Homeland\, Finland features paintings and works on paper by Finnish-born artist Vaino Kola. After serving as a professor at Wheaton College in Massachusetts for 26 years\, Kola settled in Deer Isle\, Maine in 1994. Seemingly untouched\, picturesque locations in and around Deer Isle\, have provided an endless supply of inspiration for Kola’s landscapes. Many of the oil on canvas paintings in the exhibition are inspired by locations in Maine\, and in fact\, some are but a stone’s throw from the artist’s studio. Kola has a great affinity for his remote island which\, with its terrain\, flora and climate\, reminds him of his Finnish homeland.   \nTuesday-Saturday\, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
