Maine artist Susan Bartlett Rice has been commissioned to create two murals for the Carter’s Wharf buying station on Atlantic Avenue in Boothbay Harbor. The first one is a generational piece which portrays how lobstering is an important family tradition. The second one of a young fisherman with a dory full of pogies represents hope for a thriving lobster industry into the future. These vibrant and colorful paintings will be digitally reproduced as murals. Susan Bartlett Rice’s work can be seen locally at the Kerr & Jones Gallery in East Boothbay or at her studio in South Bristol. You can see her impressive portfolio online at her website and you can follow her on Instagram and Facebook.
Carter’s Wharf is one of the few remaining commercial working wharves in the Boothbay Harbor region. In 2019 the wharf was donated to the Boothbay Region Maritime Foundation, a 501 (C) 3 nonprofit organization. The members of the Boothbay Region Maritime Foundation are grateful for the opportunity to help preserve local fishing traditions, to share them with our local community and with visitors.
