Kennebunkport artist Mariah Lang, 35, grew up immersed in nature and exploring the outdoor spaces of the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust properties. She now works in Procurement for Abbott Laboratories, but when she is not working, you can find her drawing, practicing photography, and creating art inspired by the great outdoors she has always loved.

Lang serves as a Goat Island Apprentice, which involves volunteering at the Light station, helping with upkeep, welcoming visitors, and educating them about the island.

“Being an Apprentice is incredibly special to me. It means protecting a piece of history, and teaching others why preservation is so important,” she said. When Goat Island lost power in 2022 due to an underwater power cable failure, the volunteer work Lang loves so much was put on hold, until the power can be restored. To help fund the effort to re-power Goat Island, Lang is selling prints of an image she took of the Light House and is donating 100% of the proceeds to the re-powering fund.

“The inspiration for this double exposure photograph comes from my love of Goat Island and the light on the island itself. I used a 35mm film camera to capture colors in a certain way. I wanted to convey the warmth of the sky and emphasize the contrast of colors out there. Double exposures are common due to the multiple exposure setting on the camera, but you never know what you’re going to get. I was pleased when I got this,” she said.

Lang said selling her prints to raise money for the Island is just another way for her to give back to something that means so much to her. “Anyone who truly loves something knows giving what you can is important. I know every bit of help or donation is appreciated as we work through solving the power problems on the island together as a community.”

Lang’s 8 X 12 (matted to fit in a 12 x 16 frame) fine art print on Hahnemühle metallic photo rag paper is priced at $120- with 100% of the proceeds to benefit Goat Island. To purchase, visit the KCT webpage https://www.kporttrust.org/ or purchase direct from Lang’s website at: www.mariahlang.com
