Brenton Hamilton, Maine Media instructor and Photography Chair of the Professional Certificate Program, joins the ranks of Ansel Adams and August Sander at the Susan Maasch Fine Art gallery in Portland, Maine.

Hamilton’s exhibition, Brenton Hamilton Cyanotypes and Gum Bichromate Works, features a combination of his past works and new, unreleased works from 2010. “This is my inaugural exhibition with the Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland. I am a new gallery artist there which is really exciting,” explains Hamilton.

An innovative, contemporary visual artist, Brenton is renown as a master of the 1840’s cyanotype process. Through expertly mixing anatomy, astronomy, and botany in his images, he creates dreamlike visions reminiscent of Renaissance paintings.

Brenton is an accomplished and dedicated teacher as well as photographer/visual artist and a founding member of Obscura, a non-profit organization that supports arts education for youth. His first monograph, The Blue Poet Dreams, was published earlier this year.

The Susan Maasch Fine Art gallery is located at 567 Congress Street in Portland.
