The Good Supply in Pemaquid, is featuring a “pop-up” art exhibit of new paintings by Jessica Ives and mixed-media assemblages by Margaret Rizzio through Aug. 31 at the barn at 2106 Bristol Road in Pemaquid.

Ives, of Damariscotta, creates oil paintings inspired by her outdoor adventures. “Summer Work” features a large selection of her 4-by-4-inch “207 Paintings.” She paints swimmers, sailors, paddlers, hikers, bikers, climbers and other outdoor adventurers in Maine. A selection of larger paintings will also be on view. Ives celebrated a successful solo show at Bowdoin College earlier this year and exhibits regularly with Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor and Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth.

Rizzio, of Camden, uses a wide range of media including vintage ephemera, found objects and re-purposed frames “that embrace the passage of time and the beauty of physical objects in a screen-obsessed era,” according to a press release about the exhibit.

Rizzio’s work in the show includes variously sized assemblage pieces and a series of unique postcard collages. Last summer, Rizzio sold out her solo show at the Turtle Gallery in Deer Isle. She continues to exhibit at Turtle and at the Maine Farmland Trust Gallery in Belfast. Ives and Rizzio have collaborated on pop-up events in the past.

The Good Supply, a rustic boutique housed in the recently restored 150-year-old barn, is known for its utilitarian work from Maine artisans.

The exhibition is free and open to the public. Art is available for purchase. Storefront hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. For more information, call 607-3121 or go to thegoodsupply.org.
