"Coastal Spectrum," an exhibition of paintings by South Harpswell artist Hati Modr, will be on view throughout April 2009 in Moulton Union, Lancaster Lounge, on the Bowdoin College campus.

Modr's paintings are inspired, she says, by "the slant of later afternoon sun over a marsh in Freeport...the roof shapes of Bibber's wharf like a Chinese screen...a sudden shadow falling over the land as I draw near Monhegan Light...the soft winter glow of sun on snow in my studio...the bow of a beached boat on Monhegan...angles and colors and shadows at Allen's Lobster...the deconstruction of Strawberry Bibbers as I paint it."

A public reception with the artist will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 5, in Lancaster Lounge.

Hours of Modr's Bowdoin exhibition are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (except when Lancaster is in use for a campus meeting). Admission is free. For more information call 207-725-3375.

Hati Modr has been drawing and painting since childhood. Music has also been an important part of her life, and she attended the New England Conservatory of Music.

She began art studies at the University of Maine–Orono with Michael Lewis. She studied watercolor painting with Viola Lyman and oil with Chip Chadbourne, and the Renaissance painting technique with Alex Gnidziejko. In England she studied sculpture with Jane Hamilton.

A graduate of the Baldwin School, she completed her A.A. degree at the University of Maine–Augusta.
