Creative people abound in Maine, and their art was on display at the GCFM 2022 convention on June 16. Harpswell Garden Club members Barbara Aiken and Anne Ritchie provided artistic inspiration to Deb Gray of Longfellow Garden Club and Judy Stallworth, member of both Bath Garden Club and Harpswell Garden Club. Scarborough Garden Club’s Patrice Kastenholz submitted artwork for interpretation by Suzanne Bushnell of Harpswell, and St. Mary’s Garden Club  provided two duo’s of talent: Sandra Chase Morrissey’s art inspired Alora Carrier, while Deena Ball’s art was interpreted by Sabrina Warner.
