BDN interviews artist about UMaine Museum of Art exhibit

The Bangor Daily News spoke with Maine artist Philip Frey about his art, career and current exhibit at the University of Maine Museum of Art in downtown Bangor. “The obvious connection to painting is concentration,” said Frey, who has lived in Hancock since the mid-1990s. “Mindfulness helps me stay with the process of painting, and it has helped me be more present with the business side of things, as well as interpersonal relationships.” Frey’s exhibit, “Parallels,” showcases an array of the paintings he has completed recently — from portraits of friends to Maine landscapes, according to the article. The show runs through Dec. 31. UMMA is located at 40 Harlow St. and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; admission is free.
