Multimedium artist Lisa Houck\u2019s new exhibit \u201cStopping and Staring\u201d is on view at the Center for Maine Craft in West Gardiner from Sept. 25 through Nov. 10.<\/p>\n

The exhibit brings together linoleum block prints, mosaics, and watercolors inspired by birds, trees, landscapes, and the interconnected rhythms of nature. Across these diverse media, Houck transforms familiar elements of the natural world into imaginative environments where close observation gives way to curiosity and wonder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI work in watercolor, oil on wood, ceramics, mosaics and etching,\u201d Houck said in a prepared release. \u201cEach medium allows me to invent new ways to express my view of nature through color and pattern.\u201d<\/p>\n
