About the exhibition

Presented by Surf Point and the York Public Library and curated by Kristina Durocher, Chasing Light presents over 30 prints, paintings and photographs drawn from Surf Point’s collection. Beverly Hallam: Chasing Light celebrates the visionary work of Beverly Hallam (1923–2013), a vital member of Ogunquit’s art community and a pioneering contemporary realist. Known for her innovative mastery across media, Hallam seamlessly integrated photography into her paintings and prints, shaping luminous compositions. From coastal scenes to floral still lifes to digital abstractions, this exhibition explores Hallam’s lifelong use of photography in her pursuit to capture and express the elusive nature of light.
