North Dam Mill gallery space, 2 Main St., features the “Home for the Holidays” show. Biddeford artists Padi Mayhew and Diane Nobel both create art that is decidedly unique and very local. Mayhew is a local fiber artist who makes all of her own paper, then meticulously cuts and tears and builds paintings out of her handmade fibers. Nobel is an art teacher at Biddeford High and is contributing oil paintings of the local landscape. And while you’re at the North Dam Mill, stop by The Sweet Specialist at Suite #– for some needed sugar to keep you going.
In A Bind Art Gallery at WiggleWeigle’s Books, 25 Alfred St., shows the photographic work of Bob Malbon of Biddeford and Maria Varnalis of Pennsylvania, along with selected works by a variety of artists on view for the holiday show.
