“Buffalo Fence” by Melanie Ness

Paintings by Irene Duplissis and Melanie Ness are on display in the main lobby hallway near CMMC’s 60 High Street entrance.

Duplissis has been painting professionally for many years. She has devoted much time to teaching art locally, participating in workshops and developing her own talent. Her work, which frequently depicts the character of New England, can be seen at her gallery in Auburn, as well as in private collections throughout the United States and abroad.

Ness, an Auburn resident, has been painting with both watercolor and oil mediums for many years. She enjoys painting still lifes and landscapes. She has studied at the Maine College of Art in Portland and with Irene Duplissis. She presently studies with Michael Ranucci.

The artwork on display may be purchased through the WHA Gift Shop, located adjacent to the Main Lobby. A percentage of sales proceeds benefits CMMC.
