NAN ULETTETown Hill ME
Back with all new works!
“Growing up spending summers in NE Harbor, one of my favorite activities was combing the beaches for "treasures." I now live here year-round and can comb the beaches of MDI and other points DownEast in all seasons, discovering whatever gems: sand dollars, sea glass, shells, driftwood and other fascinating objects, the ocean deposits on the shore. I am also now realizing a dream - to create art with the 'found' objects. As a collector of folk art for years, I finally decided to try creating fish and other sea creatures from the pieces of flotsam and jetsam that have for years filled jars and boxes in my house. I mostly use these "sea changed" objects, but sometimes I find perfectly suited ornaments at the dump or at yard sales. Actually half the fun is finding the bits that can be combined into a new creation. It makes each piece different and each piece unique. "
