LOST AT SEA | FOUND - 41. 1036° N 72. 3587° W (the longitude and latitude of 234 Carpenter Street)
Greenport artist Cindy Pease Roe’s exhibit Lost At Sea | Found that was originally presented at the North Fork Art Collective, has sailed Northeast and a selection of her artwork is currently on display at the Greenport Harbor Brewing Company’s 234 Carpenter Street location.
This is the first time the Gallery at Greenport Harbor Brewing Company has collaborated with the North Fork Art Collective which are steps away from one another. We have been showcasing Cindy Roe’s artwork since 2011 and we are thrilled to be working with Kara Hoblin, Director of the North Fork Art Collective. Extending Lost At Sea | Found in our space continues Roe’s mission to inspire conversations, evoke curiosity and convey a powerful message about the fragility of our ocean ecosystems.
Cindy Pease Roe, an artist, educator, and marine advocate, draws inspiration from her lifelong connection with the sea to create captivating paintings and sculptures. She combines various mediums to depict the serenity, history, function, and vulnerability of the ocean and the crisis of plastic pollution in our waters.
Please note: The Gallery will be accessible during tasting room hours and by appointment. We encourage you to call or email us anytime to schedule a private viewing. We can be reached at (631) 513-9023 or by emailing us below.

TIGHT LINES: Mixed Media Fish by Artist Stephen Palmer
MORE ON THE ARTIST
Stephen Palmer was born and raised by artists, and one of his earliest memories is being with his mom while she painted the ocean.
Even though over the years he has worked with a variety of materials and inspirations, Palmer recently came back to the ocean in the form of humorous mixed media fish. Most fish start with a vintage crutch or paddle, are given a tail, fins and teeth, and then filled with antique items and found objects before they are wired.
Because Palmer is an educator, he hopes people will see the connection between his use of things that might otherwise be discarded and the pollution of our waterways. An annual percentage of the sale of Steve’s fish helps support environmental groups.
SCOTT BLUEDORN: Limited Edition Prints
MORE ON THE ARTIST
Artist, illustrator and designer Scott Bluedorn works in various media, including painting, drawing, print process, collage and found object assemblage. Drawing inspiration from cultural anthropology, primitivism, and nautical tradition, Bluedorn distills imagery that speaks to the collective unconscious, especially through myth and visual story-telling - a world he conjures as “maritime cosmology”. Scott’s unique illustrations have been on our beer labels since 2015 and his limited edition prints are available and on display in the Peconic Tasting Room.
Please note: The Gallery will be accessible during tasting room hours and by appointment. We encourage you to call or email us anytime to schedule a private viewing. We can be reached at (631) 513-9023 or by emailing us below

TOTEMS & TRANSFORM: Sculptures/Drawings by Arden Scott
MORE ON THE ARTIST
A Greenport local since the late ‘70s, Arden Scott has worked primarily as a sculptor, incorporating her lifelong hobby of sailing and the seaport aesthetics of her surroundings into her work. These ice boat inspired sculptures, currently on display in the open field at Greenport Harbor Brewing Company’s 42155 Main Rd. Peconic location, are strikingly minimalist and abstract, evoking the curve and contour of the ships and schooners that once populated the harbors of the East End. Arden’s involvement in the thrilling sport of iceboating here on the North Fork inspired these pieces. When temperatures drop long enough to freeze Hallocks Bay, the Orient Ice Yacht Club gathers to sail these minimal wind-driven vessels. “Transforms” are not replicas of iceboats; the design evolved through the artist’s imagination. The space that surrounds these sculptures are intrinsically important to the piece.
With whimsical dynamism and colorful geometrics, Scott’s vertical sculptures, which she refers to as ‘totems,’ bring a new perspective to abstractionism. These floor-standing works are constructed from raw steel and some feature objects given to her by close friends and family. They evoke both joy and humor which the artist is known for.
The Gallery at Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, 234 Carpenter St, proudly features Arden Scott’s new works on paper. These highly saturated graphite drawings are according to the artist, “My way of visual thinking, many manifestations are in these set of drawings. The thinking is about shapes and the physical heft of the steel. The large drawings I created on the floor - the very physical act of drawing enhances materiality.”
Arden Scott was featured in the New York Times when she built a 28-foot, classic wooden schooner from scratch in the 1980s at her home studio in the Village of Greenport. She earned a Guggenheim Fellowship Grant, a Pollock-Krasner Grant and NYS Council for the Arts and NY Foundation for the Art Grants.
