Schooled as an English major and trained as a sailmaker, she is careful about grammar and fearless with a sewing machine. She has been a commentator for public radio, a set and props designer for professional theater companies, and a mediator for the Maine Attorney General’s office.
Her business, Good Strong Stuff, prospered in Bath in the 1980s where she designed and constructed large street and storefront banners, custom canvas work for boat and home, and canvas tepees that were shipped throughout the United States and Canada.
Her scrolls can be found in galleries from Portland, Ore., to Bath.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
