The Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association (MCFA), a nonprofit working to support vibrant fisheries, healthy fishermen, and thriving fishing communities, is pleased to be collaborating on a summer fundraiser with Matthew Barter, a renowned painter and sculptor known for his works depicting commercial fishermen and members of the fishing community. Barter has generously donated 100 signed prints of one of his paintings to Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association to raise funds for their Fishermen Wellness Program. The original oil on canvas painting, Boatwork, captures a working waterfront scene on the South Gouldsboro Pier. Barter has donated a limited run of 100 prints on 18” x 24” archival paper of his original painting. Each print is numbered and signed by the artist and can be purchased online.
