BRING IT ON, 2012!
2011 was my close to 50th year with a pen in my hand, but only my 3rd year as a Tree Artist. My first year I completed 10 trees, and stepped into the world of selling art like a child who couldn’t swim sticking their foot in the deep end of the pool. Whether you [...]

Guide To Maine juried Art Festivals and Fairs
Three years ago as a new artist to hit the “fair network” I spent hours on the internet looking for links to Maine Art Festivals and Fairs. Often I went to the show listing of artists that I knew, and tried to glean information from there. I was only interested in juried events, but even [...]

Barefoot Artist Takes to The Streets
So, tomorrow marks my 7th Art Festival this summer, as I will be setting up on the streets of downtown Ogunquit, Maine tomorrow morning, and again on Congress Street in Portland on Saturday August 28th. The first four festivals took place on above 90 degree days, with humidity in the hundreds. There’s nothing better than [...]
It Never Rains But it Pours in Norway, Maine
July 10, 2010 started early for me. At 5 am I was chugging out of my driveway in my little Honda and driving over the river and through the woods, and up over the top of Streaked Mountain to Norway, Maine for their 43rd annual Art Festival (my first). The weather reports were sketchy, but [...]
Bath Heritage Days Art in The Park
You know you’re in for a hot day when it’s 75 degrees at 5 o’clock in the morning. So began the 2 day Bath Art in the Park show, which pretty much consumed my entire July 4th weekend. Last year this venue followed a few soaking weeks of rain, rendering the park a mudhole and creating [...]
Saco Spirit Sidewalk Art Festival
June 26th was the kick-off day of my 2010 show season at the Saco Sidwalk Art Festival. The exciting start of this show for me was loading my brand new Honda Fit hatchback, which I had owned for approximately 12 hours before I headed down to Saco at 4:30 am. Compact from the outside, I [...]
Update on Hospital Art
Last week I wrote about my upcoming jury session with Maine General Hospital in Augusta. This past Monday, arriving a little early, I watched a couple of other artists toting art across the parking lot. Lugging my own art into the lobby I was greeted warmly and led across the carpet to a boardroom. I was [...]
Monkitree Returns
A couple of blogs ago I wrote about the new Monkitree Gallery in Gardiner, Maine, and how I found out about it. I submitted my images per their website instructions, and not only received an encouraging return email, but a few days after that another email saying that the owner, Clare, had googled her own [...]
Arboretum Art
Last year I answered a post for “art exhibitors wanted” at the Viles Arboretum in Augusta, Maine. What better place to exhibit tree art than at an arboretum was kind of the way my thoughts went. The arboretum has a large room at it’s visitor center where they hold meetings, etc., and the walls are [...]
Hospital Art
Last fall when I was at an art festival in Manchester, Maine, I was approached by two elderly ladies who oooohed and ahhhed over my tree art for several minutes, all the while whispering to each other, and pointing at different pieces. Sometimes I can “read” a browser, and know if they’re just looking, or [...]
