In 1893, Clara Driscoll returns to work for Louis Comfort Tiffany after her husband dies. Because of her passion for color and stained-glass, Tiffany makes her the head of the women's art department. He and Clara begin to develop a new prototype of lamp made of leaded glass (which he will one day be famous for) and Clara puts all of her energy into being recognized not only as a hard worker with an eye for color, but an innovative and brilliant designer as well. Clara longs for love and marriage but two things stand in her way; her own commitment to her art and Tiffany's policy of making any women who marry while working for him resign.

The fall travel lectures announcements are at the printers and should be available soon in the library.

About Me

As an artist, my goal is to bring my work out from the studio and into the world. My focus is on supporting other Maine artists and sharing my art within the community. I am influenced by the natural world as well as the works of artists such as Frank Stella, Wassily Kandinsky, and Hilda Hiary. As an abstract artist I focus on experimentation and reshaping the present artistic environment. Through movement, bold colors, and texture, my art is an expression of the enduring human impulse to create. It is by creating art that I am able to connect with the world around me and to truly express my spirit. The result is bold, imaginative, and brazen art for the world to see.
