Dewdrop Cooties

Emerging from the darkness of the SPACE venue, Lin Snow’s Dewdrop Cooties is an expansive mural of creatures, fairies, and glow-in-the-dark entities. Stop by SPACE during gallery hours or during an upcoming event to see the new creatures and fairies that have taken up residence in a dance party on our venue walls.

Lin Snow will be at a Canadian artist residency for First Friday in August, but please join us then to celebrate SPACE’s 22nd Birthday and this new mural, and come back to celebrate the artist at a reception on September’s First Friday Art Walk.

Lin Snow is an artist/Illustrator based out of Maine. She graduated from Maine College of Art & Design with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration. Her work often includes nature while exploring scientific subject matter; with goals to learn and teach throughout her art and process. Lin utilizes life references as often as possible, much like historic botanical artists. Using science, biology, and ecology she submerges viewers in the unknown science of the natural world that we all live in. She creates in a wide range of mediums but has been working mostly with gouache paint and ink recently. Lin has been busy with commission based work, illustrating for local and international clients. She has been participating in and curating exhibitions, directing art events, as well as teaching. Lin’s work has garnered awards including a Presidential Scholarship in the Arts, Annalee Dolls Scholarship, The MECA Award for Most Innovative, and most recently: Portland’s Best Themed Holiday Window. She recently attended the MECA Alumni Residency, the Emma International Collaboration in Saskatchewan, and is looking forward to the next endeavors that come her way! Website | Instagram
