PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – A New Sweden artist will show some of her works at Aroostook Agency on Aging during the month of June.
Tammy Dube’s month-long Artists for Aging exhibit opens Friday, June 7 in time for Presque Isle’s First Friday Art Walk which brings together events from various venues including Wintergreen Arts Center, Reed Gallery at the University of Maine, The Common Gallery and the Akeley Gallery at the Mark & Emily Turner Memorial Library.

Dube is a pastel and oil painter with no limitations to one subject. The Guerette native specializes in pet and people portraits, show cars and landscapes. While living in central Maine, she was a pastel and oil pet portrait artist and taught children’s pastel classes. She frequently displayed her artwork at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
Since moving back to Aroostook County in 2013, Dube’s first art show was called “Rebirth” held at Northern Maine Community College. She also showed her work at the Presque Isle public library and a virtual show at Wintergreen Arts Center in Presque Isle where she has
taught a pet portrait class. She also won the Aroostook County Maine Reunited competition with her “Picking Fiddleheads” oil painting.
Dube has created note cards and prints of her artwork and all formats will be available for purchase during the upcoming show. More images of her artwork can be found on FineArtAmerica.com or interested persons may follow her art journey on Instagram at tammypaintbrush2.
