July brings an exhibit of local art to the Mellon Room of the Northeast Harbor Library – Sara J Cary is exhibiting illustration and photography work inspired by the flora and fauna of Maine.

Science and nature drive Sara J Cary’s creative process. She researches her subjects and translates what she learns into illustrations and photographs that are both visually engaging and informative. Her work emphasizes accurate detail and intentional composition.  Currently, her favorite medium is acrylic ink.

Place-based inspiration is central to Sara’s practice. Based in Downeast Maine, she draws daily inspiration from the coastal and inland landscapes that surround her. She can often be found knee-deep in tide pools and meadows, observing and gathering reference for future work.

Through each piece, Sara aims to spark curiosity, deepen viewers’ connection to place, and help them discover something new about the natural environment just outside their door.
