Thoughtful conversations with the people of Maine

It doesn't matter if we have the best medicine available and prescribe it, if people will not stay on it and take it, it does no good.

My mom said a very cool thing to me that I never forgot. In fact, I wrote a song about it. She said, doesn't matter the mood, you go when you go into your studio, when you come out, you'll feel better. Which is kind of like saying, don't be dependent on a good mood to paint.

I'm always trying to find a depiction of Maine that's not necessarily a motif of what we regularly see in art galleries. I'm trying to find those pockets of Maine that are still Maine, but not always represented.
