The room

A small gallery, run like a studio.

Buoy Gallery is a working room in Kittery, Maine — one wall for the current show, one long shelf for the shop, a bench in the middle, and a kettle that's usually on. We represent artists who live and work along this coast: painters and printmakers who know the tide chart, ceramicists who fire with local clay, letterpress printers, sail-cloth stitchers, the occasional boat carpenter.

"We only hang what we would live with. That's the whole rule."

Come in to browse, come in to talk. If you're new to buying original work, we'll walk you through it — payment plans, framing, shipping, all of it. If you're a collector, we'll pour you a cup and pull the drawer of small works no one has seen yet.

Roster

The artists we're lucky to hang.

A small, working roster of makers based within an hour of the gallery. New studios visit each season; the shelf never sits still for long.

Painter

Painters

Oil, gouache and cold-wax work — harbors, boatyards, thin winter light.

Printmaker

Printmakers

Hand-pulled monotypes, woodcuts and etchings in small editions.

Ceramic

Wood-fired and salt-glazed vessels — quiet, functional, one of one.

Object

Object makers

Letterpress cards, canvas goods, small carvings and considered oddities.

Sample roster — we'll build individual pages for each of your artists with a bio, studio image, and a live grid of their available work.
