About Gallery Concepts

Maine artist and owner of Gallery Concepts, Sherry Williams, has been painting and crafting as a successful entrepreneur for nearly 45 years. Everything she creates, produces, and assembles is done with extraordinary care.

Sherry paints renditions of famous vacation attractions, iconic places, quintessential landscapes, lodge and other rustic themes, alluring wildlife, famous resorts, and various outdoor activity motifs.

After the mockup and painting phases finish, Sherry converts the painting into a digital version and produces scaled prints. The team then applies her prints to various materials, and then assembles and distresses each part into a cohesive heirloom quality product for all to enjoy as part of their home décor.

More information about this inspired design:

Mount Katahdin (/kəˈtɑːdɪn/ kə-TAH-din) is the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Maine at 5,269 feet (1,606 m). Named Katahdin, which means "Great Mountain",^[3] by the Penobscot Native Americans, it is within Northeast Piscataquis, Piscataquis County, and is the centerpiece of Baxter State Park. It is a steep, tall massif formed from a granite intrusion weathered to the surface. The flora and fauna on the mountain are typical of those found in northern New England, with the summit hosting fragile and endangered alpine tundra.

Katahdin was known to the Native Americans in the region and was known to Europeans at least since 1689. It has inspired hikes, climbs, journal narratives, paintings, and a piano sonata.^[4] The area around the peak was protected by Governor Percival Baxter starting in the 1930s. Katahdin is the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail and is near a stretch known as the Hundred-Mile Wilderness. Though part of the Appalachian Mountain system, Katahdin is isolated from the range, and sits largely on its own as a monadnock. The nearest higher mountains in any direction are the high peaks of the Presidential Range, around 170 miles (270 km) to the south-west.

In 1967, Mount Katahdin was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.^[5]

The mountain is commonly called just "Katahdin",^[6] though the official name is "Mount Katahdin" as decided by the US Board on Geographic Names in 1893.
