Fiddlehead ferns are a sign of spring and hope, two things I think we all want right now. The contrast between their strong spiral shape and delicate, papery baby fronds attracted my interest visually. I consider this piece an exploration in mixing and juxtaposing different shades of green.
I live on Main St. in Cumberland. For many years, I have taught the 'Open Studio’ class through the Cumberland Recreation Department, as well as painting classes through the Maine College of Art Continuing Studies Program.
My work is represented by Casco Bay Artisans Gallery in Portland and has been exhibited nationwide.
