Welcome

I retired from science to paint and write in Portland Maine. Although no longer doing research, I’m still exploring ideas, experimenting, and learning. During the exploring part I get lost from time to time. This used to make me nervous, but with age I’ve found that the more I wander, the more I  learn.

 I Wrote a Book!

Read about  Discover Her Art: Women Artists and their Masterpieces—my book with co-author Lisa Rogers—at the Book tab.

HERE’S WHAT I’M UP TO

View/shop/chat:  Hay Studios, 594 Congress Street, Portland Maine.  I donate a portion of studio sales to the  Maine Coast Heritage Trust:  https://www.mcht.org/

Learn: I teach portraiture  in the Continuing Studies program at  Maine College of Art and Design.  Next class Fall 2025.  https://cs.meca.edu/
