“Stand of Elms” 2011
I just installed an illuminated, glass Sculpture at the University of Maine, Orono. It’s 4’x4’x5.5’
The photographs wrap around the cube as one continuous landscape and capture a group of American Elm trees in Castine, Maine.
History: The University’s campus mall was at one time lined with American Elm trees - almost all of which suffered the blight of Dutch Elm Disease. Dr. Richard Campana (1918 - 2005, professor emeritus at the University of Maine, Orono) was an expert on Dutch Elm Disease and helped develop/administer a vaccine that saved innumerable American Elm trees including more than 300 in the town of Castine, Maine.

“Finding Words” 2011
This summer I installed four photographic murals at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School in Brunswick, Maine. The images were captured throughout the Maine seasons. Each piece consists of a photograph combined with a word and together are meant to be open to interpretation. (4’x4’ each)

“Maple Leaf” 2011
This summer I installed an eight piece photographic, glass mural in the library at the Great Falls Elementary School, Gorham, Maine. (100 square feet.)
The photographs are a collection of images capturing a maple leaf at a point in its life cycle where the outer epidermis has fallen away leaving only the lacy, cellular structure visible. The subject matter is meant to provide an interior landscape tied to the outside world.
