“In the end we all become stories.”
Margaret Atwood
I grew up next to Stony Run Stream which runs into Jones Falls which runs into Baltimore Harbor in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
I now live in the Sebasticook Watershed. I live on the ridge above Carlton Bog which flows into Unity Pond, Twenty-five Mile Stream, Sebasticook River, Kennebec River, and finally the Gulf of Maine.
For forty years in this town, this state, down winding roads and exploring nooks and crannies, I have been living and weaving together the layers of my life. The journey has included re-encountering memories, the deepest from childhood. Those memories, and the ongoing experiences of my life in my chosen home, ignite the archetypes that show up in my paintings and photographs, and within them and from them, come my ongoing watershed narratives.
