I am a parent of twin 21-year-old boys, one of whom has cerebral palsy and currently lives at home and the other is a junior in college studying graphic art. I spent eight years as a cub/boy scout leader for our local troop. I also spent three summers working at a seasonal children’s art center in Northeast Harbor working with kids from age 4-18. As for my own art interests, I like to paint and work with mixed media and have shown my work at the Ellsworth Public Library, Atlantic Art Glass and at West Side Grill in Southwest Harbor.
