Nestled along the picturesque coast of Maine, Phippsburg offers a perfect backdrop for artistic exploration and creativity. Heading into fall, work is officially wrapped up in Phippsburg. The carvings are complete and traffic is good, as I led tours throughout the summer we had visitors from as far as Iowa who came out to see the petroglyphs. They are becoming popular in the region. If you find yourself in Maine, make sure to take a trip to the Phippsburg Land Trust McKay Farm Trail where you can witness the lasting mark. I hosted some printmaking workshops while I was in town which fed my need to connect to the community.
2024 was spent making molds of petroglyphs and after long hours in the studio figuring out best practices, some very successful ceramic reliefs now exist and are for sale. I am in conversations with galleries looking to show them sometime. Here is an example of the Hermit Thrush carving from Phippsburg which has become a beautiful, vignetted denim blue ceramic tile. The molds hold the quality of the carvings quite well.
