For the month of September, I will be the feature artist at the Northeast Harbor Library.
Th opening reception will be Friday, September 4th at 5pm.
I would be oh so delighted to see your smiling faces and hear what you think of the new work.
To everyone who has helped me to get here, I thank you. This 5th season has been one of my busiest and best and it’s still not over! There are still three more art fair style shows and two more gallery events. Be sure to check out the Show Schedule to find out where I’ll be.
Here’s a small taste of some of my happy customers and their purchases this summer. Thank you to all my old and new friends and art lovers for taking the creative leap with me!

This year I have set up quite the calender for myself. There are a few new location additions, such as Belfast in July and Bar Harbor in September. Also, I am excited to be participating in a new gallery this year, the Deer Isle Artist Association. There are so many new and exciting things going on this year. Be sure to check out my Events calender to see where I’ll be when you’re in town. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on the Green!

On Sunday, I was pleasantly surprised with a visit from Alan deCheubell, my inspiration for the newest edition to the Maine Men Series, “Rowing Old Tyler”. After having read his story in the MDIslander last winter, I knew he would make a great edition to the series. Alan is a very skilled woodworker and craftsman living in Bar Harbor, known for his beautiful cabinets and furniture. Sadly, as he has gotten older his eye sight has started to fail. So to make the best of it, he decided to move away from the detail work and focus on a larger project, building a boat. His chose a Rangeley design that can either be sailed, rowed, or powered by motor. At the first launch, Alan christened it Old Tyler with a bottle of Moxie and set her out for a spin on Echo Lake. It is a beautiful boat and an even more wonderful story of perseverance and a passionate dedication. Plus, I love that he used Moxie instead of Champagne….very Maine. So needles to say, it was a pleasure meeting the man who helped make my painting come alive. Thank you, Alan.
Thank you to everyone who visited me out on the green in Bar Harbor this past weekend! I saw a lot of new faces as well as many of my past clients. It was such a pleasure speaking with everyone about the new work. There were a bunch of new pieces that I revealed for the first time at the show and many of them are already gone! I was so excited that I called Ryan, my fiance, and he joked that he’d refill my paint water cup so I’d be ready to roll in the studio when I got home. Ironically, that’s exactly what I did! Usually I relax after show days. They can really take a lot out of ya. But not this past one! I was all charged up when I got back. There’s a sayin’ down south, “when the summertime’s here, ain’t no time for honky tonkin’, Cher!” Got to get down to business.
Soon I will be posting a glimpse of some of the new works. I will label the sold ones as well as the available ones. Hope you like what you see!
I’ve been crazy busy this past week preparing for the first show of the summer! Paintings are getting their final coats of varnish, my business cards have been ordered, flyers are being printed out and the portfolio is updated. I am excited to be show casing some of my new work that I will be showing for the first time. If you’re in the Bar Harbor area on June 22nd and 23rd, please stop by the Village Green. I’ll be happy to see ya!
