I was born and raised in the little fishing village

of Jonesport, on the coast of Maine. My true love

has always been sewing and I am a self taught

seamstress. I started sewing at the age of 14. I

enjoy creating and designing new items. It gives

me much pleasure that my customers appreciate

my work.

Besides sewing, I am a self taught artist with acrylic

as my medium . Since 1998 I have painted the

ordinary, the dilapidated, and the disappearing

in an effort to preserve important history for local

residents and visitors of the Jonesport/ Beals Island

area. One person describes my paintings with a

mix of folk art charm and a color pallet reminiscent

of Van Gogh's "Starry Night". Prints from my

originals are offered on note cards, matted and

un-matted prints, custom made tote bags, laminated

 magnets, coasters, Place mats and book markers.

I also have paintings that are not duplicated. This

was a hidden talent of mine for 47 years and I receive

much pleasure from my art work accomplishments.
