Join us in The Barn to hear local artists tell their stories! Learn about the creative journeys these artists are on and gain insights into their phenomenal processes. It is truly an honor not only to carry their works in our store, but to have the opportunity to hear their stories from their perspectives.

Morgan Mitchell- Morgan Mitchell, the creatress of Southport, is an artist that believes everyone has wings, a powerful protection and potential fostered by creativity. Printed and hand painted garments draw on the colors and imagery of nature. In pursuit of helping others find their wings, she coaches others through creative flow circles, an interactive and immersive painting meditation. 

Jeanne Lally- Jeanne Lally is a painter and mixed media artist. Jeanne learned a lot from her mother, who encouraged her lifelong art practice and desire to create. As a Southport local, Jeanne draws from the natural imagery of coastal Maine, capturing them through intricate and complex processes, such as watercolor shibori, amongst other techniques and media. 

Robert Mitchell- Robert Mitchell has been a photographer and resident of Maine for over 40 years. Living in Southport, his work captures all aspects of coastal living; verdant and lush summer scenes, snowy winter landscapes, crashing waves, and calm harbors. Mitchell’s annual “Around Boothbay'' calendar is something that locals and tourists alike look forward to each year. 

Annie Buchholz- Annie Buchholz is a ceramic and fiber artist located in Boothbay Harbor. Annie graduated from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in 2016 with a BFA in ceramics. Annie is currently an assistant to Alison Evans of AE ceramics and the creative director of The Barn.
