Episode 67: Marie Spaulding - Maine Artist

The Keep It Local Maine Podcast

This week, we had a chance to chat with Maine artist Marie Spaulding. We talked about her journey from art student to teacher to full-time artist, mixed media painting, her love for nature and animals, how that inspires her art, how she defines success as a small business owner, and more!

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Marie Spaulding was born in Maine and has always been fascinated by animals and nature. It took Marie some time to find her artistic path after working in other non-art industries, but an opportunity that sold her first painting lit her creative fire and from there her art career took off. Her style is heavily nature inspired and is a balance of abstract and realism. She uses a combination of mixed mediums and techniques – focusing on colorful, textured pieces.
