The Good Tern Natural Foods Co-Op & Cafe art exhibit for July is photographs of member/owner Joe Auciello's stone sculptures. Joe is a self-taught sculptor who began carving granite in the mid-1980s. His primary passion is the human form, and he has demonstrated his versatility in public and private art commissions. Joe's work has a large following in the midcoast and throughout the northeastern United States, where he as sold functional and representational art and garden sculpture through such venues as Directions: Mount Desert Island, Three Rivers Arts Festival in Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia Invitational Art Show and Capital Arts in Washington, DC. Currently his work can be seen at Salt River Artisans Gallery in Boothbay.
 Joe's work for the garden includes birdbaths, lamps, and benches using the natural shapes and properties of stone that comes from Maine and beyond. The grace and beauty of field stone and granite lend themselves to gentle and dynamic carvings that enhance private and public spaces. Joe has also created unique memorials, including one in Farmington, Maine honoring Panama Canal engineer John Frank Stevens.
 A founding member of the Maine Stone Workers Guild, Joe can be seen each fall at the Common Ground Country Fair, where he joins fellow guild members in demonstrating his craft. He is a year-round resident of Rockland, with a workshop and studio in Warren. |
