Muscongus Bay and Pemaquid Plein air Sketches and Paintings

Experience the Raw Power and Serene Beauty of the Maine Coast

Welcome to a special online exhibition featuring plein air sketches and oil paintings from my summer on the Pemaquid peninsula and Muscongus Bay. Captured live on the rugged rocks at nautical dawn and during windy coastal evenings, these works bring the untamed spirit of Maine waterfront property directly into your home. 

Each piece in this collection is or can be custom-framed and perfectly suited for luxury interior design, offering a window into Maine’s iconic, shifting marine landscape. 

Art for Conservation: Throughout the month of October, this exhibition serves as a dedicated fundraiser. 30% of all sales will be donated directly to the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT)

to help preserve the coastal lands that inspire this work.

Summer’s Still, 12x17.5 oil on linen board, 00 framed. This spot was a quiet channel view up the Damariscotta river. The Mirror effect captured the nuanced soft pastels of the morning sky. This is a little nook of the channels of the Damariscotta, perfectly still it didn’t seem to need much else to speak.
