SUMMARY:Sidle House Gallery Presents: ‘Anne Hebebrand: A World That Is’
DESCRIPTION:Sidle House hours: Thursdays – Saturdays 3-6 pm and by appointment (May 1 – June 13).\nLocation: Sidle House Gallery\, 20 Bartol Island Rd. Freeport\, Maine \n  \nSidle House Gallery opens the 2026 season with a solo show by Anne Hebebrand\, on view May 1 through June 13. \n  \nThe exhibition presents work selected from Anne Heberand’s cold-wax and oil paintings over the past seven years. She describes her prolific practice as\, “rooted in an intuitive process driven by a lifelong love of abstraction. These paintings serve as maps of memory\, where colors and shapes evolve organically to create their own universe. Using oil and cold wax\, I build\, scrape\, and rework the surface— layering and excavating until the moment arrives when the piece reveals its own history and depth.” \n  \nIn his essay “Anne Hebebrand’s Serious Whimsy\,” (the introduction for her new exhibition catalog)\, Dr. Aaron Rosen writes\, “her paintings… manage to be at turns whimsical\, curious\, and enchanting. And\, at the same time\, incontrovertibly serious. Hebebrand’s works disclose—and for at least a moment\, encourage us to dwell within—the delight of the world. Far from being escapist\, they nudge us back into the world\, reminding us to seek out moments of wonder and delight\, even in unlikely places and moments.” \n  \nAnne Hebebrand is a painter whose work explores memory\, perception\, and abstraction through a nuanced play of light\, form\, and color. Her practice draws on both intuition and formal investigation\, balancing chance with intention to create layered surfaces that invite close looking. She has exhibited widely in the United States and Mexico\, and her work has been featured in Art New England\, Hartford Courant\, Zest Maine\, Journal del Pacifico\, and the New York Times. Hebebrand has decades of teaching experience at institutions including Manchester Community College\, Albertus Magnus College\, and the Wadsworth Atheneum\, and in private workshops. She holds a BFA from Boston Museum School/Tufts University and an MA from the University of Alabama. \n  \nRelated gallery events include:\nOpening Reception May 1 6-8pm.\nFeatured Artist Talk May 3 2pm.\nCold Wax & Oil Workshop with the Artist\, May 30-31.\nKatherine Liccardo performs Solo Violin with Electronics\, June 7. \n  \nSidle House hours: Thursdays – Saturdays 3-6 pm and by appointment (May 1 – June 13). \n  \nContact:\nMaddy Vertenten\, Sidle House Gallery\nEmail: maddy@sidlehouse.com\nPhone: 512.771.1149 \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:Sidle House Gallery: Featured Artist Talk with Anne Hebebrand
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: May 3 | 2:00 PM\nLocation: Sidle House Gallery\, 20 Bartol Island Rd. Freeport\, Maine\nCost: $10 Suggested Donation \n  \nArtist featured in “A World That Is” at Sidle House May 1 – June 13\, 2026 \n  \nAnne Hebebrand creates luminous paintings rich with color and texture revealing delicate transitions and passages. An ongoing exploration of cold wax and oil techniques lead to a tactile surface created not only by adding layers\, but also by excavating and unearthing earlier layers of paint. \n  \nHebebrand’s paintings are not just variations on a theme\, but more like a conversation with one painting giving dialogue to another. Through experimentation and improvisation\, her process is supported by both a keen understanding of her materials and a deep knowledge of artists who have preceded her. \n  \n“My work is rooted in an intuitive process driven by a lifelong love of abstraction. These paintings serve as maps of memory\, where colors and shapes evolve organically to create their own universe. Using oil and cold wax\, I build\, scrape\, and rework the surface—layering and excavating until the moment arrives when the piece reveals its own history and depth.” \n  \nI’m committed to valuing artists time and creative energy. Please help me support our speakers with a suggested donation of $10\, all proceeds will go directly to the artists. \n  \nThank you! \n  \n– Maddy Vertenten \n  \nSidle House hours: Thursdays – Saturdays 3-6 pm and by appointment (May 1 – June 13). \n  \nContact:\nMaddy Vertenten\, Sidle House Gallery\nEmail: maddy@sidlehouse.com\nPhone: 512.771.1149 \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:Sidle House Gallery: Cold Wax & Oil Workshop with Anne Hebebrand
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: May 30–31 | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM\nLocation: Sidle House Gallery\, 20 Bartol Island Rd. Freeport\, Maine\nCost: $400 per person | Limited to 6 participants \n  \nThis two-day\, studio-intensive workshop offers a rare opportunity to work closely within the setting of Anne Hebebrand’s current exhibition at the Sidle House. Designed as a focused and immersive experience\, the workshop invites participants to explore the depth and versatility of cold wax and oil painting through a balance of demonstration\, experimentation\, and individualized guidance. \nWorking in an intimate group of six\, each participant will receive sustained one-on-one feedback while developing their own paintings. Emphasis will be placed on building layered surfaces\, creating tension through contrast\, and navigating the interplay between structure and intuition—core elements of my own practice. \nThroughout the workshop\, we will move between making and looking. Time will be spent engaging directly with the exhibited work\, offering insight into process\, material decisions\, and the evolution of finished paintings. This proximity creates a dynamic dialogue between the work on the walls and the work in progress. \nThe small group size allows for a thoughtful\, responsive environment suited to painters at various stages\, particularly those interested in deepening their relationship to abstraction and material. \n  \nSidle House hours: Thursdays – Saturdays 3-6 pm and by appointment (May 1 – June 13). \n  \nContact:\nMaddy Vertenten\, Sidle House Gallery\nEmail: maddy@sidlehouse.com\nPhone: 512.771.1149 \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, CLICK HERE.
