MH+D partnered with Moss Galleries to host an exclusive group of design VIPs at nationally acclaimed artist Charlie Hewitt’s Electric Greenhouse in Portland. Guests enjoyed light bites and refreshments provided by Experience Maine Culinary while being among the first to see the debut collection of Hewitt’s one-of-a-kind carved ceramic wall sculptures. Inspired by biblical motifs, the colorful ceramic pieces feature a muted palette compared to the brightly lit neon signs Hewitt is known for. Stay tuned for a full feature on Hewitt’s unique gallery space in our upcoming September issue!
