Thoughtful conversations with the people of Maine

I can stare most people need to wear sunglasses. I never wear them. I love looking directly at the sun sparkles on the water. I just find it to be so healing. It fills me with joy.

I think it's subliminal, it's just in your genes. That's kind of like the fish that swim up river. There's something in them that causes them to keep going back to the source and that's why they're doing it.

I'm a landscape painter, obviously. I am focused on nature and particularly the nature of New England. I've been fortunate enough that in our extended family, there's both a cottage in the white mountains and in Maine here, right on Sagadahoc bay, in Georgetown.
