The West Bath Historical Society will hold its annual meeting and potluck 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 11, at the Old West Bath Meeting House.

The highlight will be noted Maine artist and West Bath resident Evelyn Dunphy, who will show a film documenting her process of creating a painting and then give a brief talk, accompanied by her well-known works of Mount Katahdin. This event is free and open to the public.

Before painting the beauty of Maine, Dunphy traveled the world. She painted the mountains and countryside of Japan and climbed Mt. Fuji; traveled through the bush country and Victoria Falls in Zambia; painted in the American Southwest; and visited Europe, India and Sri Lanka, where she climbed Sirigiya.

For several years, her major focus has been Katahdin, especially as viewed from Katahdin Lake. She was one of 16 well-known artists who donated time and artwork to help save the lake from development.

For the past five years, Dunphy has been teaching painting workshops at the site of Frederic Church’s rustic camp on Millinocket Lake, the first artist to be invited to teach there.

Those attending the June 11 event should bring a potluck main course, salad or dessert to share.

The Historical Society asks that attendees come with plates and silverware in order to save on waste. Beverages, cups and napkins will be provided.
