At this point, it’s not for sale. But I’ll certainly let you know if it ever is. Thank you so much.

The green in this collage feels like the natural world to me - the order of things, as they should be - perhaps a lone olive branch in the flood of cruelty and chaos around us. #maineartist

I love this old collage of mine. On a related note, the news of late feels like a faucet, or more of a fire hose, of Trump’s misdeeds. My money is on him not making it to the end of his first year…. perhaps just me hopeful thinking.

A local nonprofit is using a slice of one of my paintings for printed bookmarks to give to their women’s reading groups. As an artist, I love that I can contribute to causes through my work in this way.

And a more serious print made by my father, Roland Shutt. A view of Ripley Neck in Maine-so wonderful.

Just came upon this print by my father. Made me think of the power of the frogs and other inflatable creatures at our No Kings rallies. So brilliant! #notaterrorist

Standing with my work at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art’s 2025 Biennial after participating in Rockland’s amazing No Kings rally (1700 of us!). An all-around happy day today!
