On Saturday, 18 December Pucker Gallery hosted Artist Marguerite Robichaux, friend and writer Liz Peavy, and Gallery Director Bernie Pucker for a conversation on her most recent work, her experience of isolating, slowing down, and grounding herself through a pandemic.

The exhibition 'Round Home will be on view at Pucker Gallery through 9 January 2022.

Elizabeth Peavey, is the author of three books and countless print columns and features. The book Glorious Slow Going, her collaboration with Marguerite Robichaux, was a Maine Literary Awards finalist, and Peavey’s one-woman show, My Mother’s Clothes Are Not My Mother, received the MLA for Best Drama. She has taught personal narrative and memoir writing for nearly 30 years, and she served as a lecturer of public speaking for over 20 years. She is a frequent keynote and guest lecturer at conferences and schools, and she provides communications training – with an emphasis on the story – to institutions and organizations in fields ranging from finance and health to the arts, education, and advocacy.

Marguerite Robichaux received an MFA from Louisiana State University and visited Maine as a student, which is when she grew to love the state. Now living in the woods of northwest Maine, her studio lies in the shadow of the Bigelow Mountain Range — one of her favorite subjects. Robichaux also spends part of each year painting in a small studio in southern Louisiana where she grew up, and whenever she travels it is always with a set of watercolors and a French easel. Her work is included in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Portland Museum of Art in Maine, and the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine.
