Susan j Schrader—Susan j Schrader Art
For the last seven years, I have enjoyed hand painting ceramics—all sorts of shapes and sizes. I call them my “shaped canvases”. This new way of painting began when I was asked to paint plates & vases for a few fundraisers...when I saw the fired pieces...I was hooked! The finished products became another way of translating my art into functional art!
Susan Delaney—Fresh Grown Graphics and Photography
With over 10 years of photography experience and a creative eye, my photography captures the natural beauty of New England. Many of my wildlife images have been created with a unique, simplified background to highlight the subject and I am often asked if they are paintings.

Martha Quigley—Landfall Gallery
I work exclusively in oils as I explore motion, color, light, and shadow within the context of waterscapes. I build up transparent layers over a warm-tinted underpainting, which adds subtle warmth to what has traditionally been my very cool palette. In addition to nautical subjects, I have found a niche painting commissioned portrait of animals. I work quickly with large brushes to maintain my loose style, while capturing personality by detailing the eyes and expression.
Courtney Hutchings—Sea Salt & Silver
Courtney’s sustainable fine jewelry is created using recycled silver and gold, authentic sea glass and beach stones, and ethically sourced gemstones. Each piece is handcrafted in her studio in Gray, Maine and all sea glass and beach stones are personally collected by the artist.

Ann Grout—Harpswell Island Designs
I've always had an interest and respect for the history and tradition of nautical flags. Combining my nautical passion and years of professional experience in the textile and garment production industry, this business concept hatched, producing nautical designs of the highest quality and bringing them to market. My business is custom design pillows, specializing in a nautical theme of yacht club burgees and nautical code flags.
Sammia Atoui
Sammia has been creating relief prints using traditional printmaking methods. The artist begins by drawing the image onto the matrix. Then the block is carved with carving tools, such as gouges and chisels. Ink is applied to the raised surface of the block, and is then printed on paper or other surfaces either by hand burnishing or via a printing press. Today, relief printmaking remains a vibrant and versatile art form appreciated for its unique textural qualities and aesthetic.
Heather Bell—Heather Bell Designs

Neil Handler—Seaside Pottery

Bill Davidge—Marblehead Burgee
Our story begins at The Beach Club bar in Seaside, Oregon with an offer to add a burgee from Marblehead to their collection.

Made in the USA, our design incorporates Marblehead’s iconic lighthouse and geographical coordinates. Standard finishing for this double-sided flag includes a marine canvas header and brass grommets with 200 denier nylon body and four rows of lock-sttching on the fly end.
Amanda Sandros
I create original artwork that I carve into linocut blocks. I use these to make paper prints, as well as assorted stationery and home good items. Additionally, I scan in my designs and create screen printing screens so that I can print my artwork on up-cycled clothing.
Carol Cross
Traditional stained-glass technique—non-traditional outcome! My work combines highly textured glass, glass nuggets, art glass, and exciting color combinations in juxtaposition to a 3D build-resulting in dynamic interactive pieces that are ever- changing with the light-creating a unique appearance on each side. I have three collections: the 3-D collection, the Wishing Star Collection and the Decor Collection.
