It is with great pleasure and joy that I share this news ~~
I have been selected to receive the 2025 MAINE CRAFT ARTIST AWARD
I share this award with the amazing Gabriel Frey, Passamaquoddy artist and 13th generation black ash basket maker.
Since 2009, the Maine Crafts Association has celebrated the exceptional contributions of craft artists through the Maine Craft Artist Award. This annual honor recognizes artists for an outstanding body of work and a distinguished career of service to Maine’s craft community. The award signifies excellence and brings well-deserved prestige and acknowledgment to the artist’s achievements.
