A multi-genre Maine artist who discovered new creative possibilities with neon sculpture in recent years is going all in on the medium with the establishment of a dedicated studio in Portland.
Charlie Hewitt bought 67 Brentwood St., in Portland’s Deering Center neighborhood, from Gail Diamon for $425,000.
Loren Ayer of Harborview Properties and Kate Carey of Vitalius Real Estate Group brokered the deal, which closed July 1.
The property comprises a one-story, 6,240-square-foot retail building dating to 1930. The building has an attached greenhouse and there’s also a separate three-bedroom apartment and 10 parking spaces.
Former florist shop
The property was previously occupied by Dodge the Florist Inc., which was established in 1890, according to its website.

The internationally renowned sculptor and artist James Surls, based in the Roaring Fork Valley, will open a new exhibition in his home community.
His “Complete Fragments” opens Friday at the Art Base in Basalt. The show features 30 new drawings by the artist, who calls them “sketches of psychological being.”
The exhibition will be on view through Sept. 27.
The gallery selected the pieces from a series of 56 vignettes that Surls completed during a 20-day water fast earlier this year. Surls attended a health retreat in Santa Rosa, California, this spring, and during this rigorous health reset, rather than feeling depleted, he described feeling invigorated and found himself inspired.
