New Project in Hallowell, Maine: Carving a Petroglyph Treasure Hunt!
This October, I kicked off an exciting commission in Hallowell, Maine, designing a series of petroglyphs to be discovered throughout the town’s green spaces—each one a hidden gem in a unique “treasure hunt” style. The first carvings, featuring three Chimney Swifts (image courtesy of Andrew Aldrich), have already taken their place at Vaughn Field.
Thanks to the support of Hallowell’s Arts & Cultural Committee and the unstoppable Deb Fahy, I’ve connected with an inspiring community here, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Hallowell boasts an incredible mural by “mural master” Chris Cart, capturing the town’s rich history in vivid detail. His work is fascinating, and sharing the art scene alongside him makes Hallowell feel like a truly unique community. Chris lived next to one of the Phippsburg Petroglyphs and serves on the Arts & Culture Committee—just another layer to this town’s deep artistic roots!
The journey continues in April with more carving and an Earth Day printmaking workshop. Can’t wait to bring more of these works to life!
