My earliest art training was in painting and blending colors and to this day I express myself in woven rugs whenever I am inspired by a color combination or drawn to some aspect of a geometric pattern. I see it, feel it and have to weave it. And that is why, when you see my showroom/gallery, you will be greeted by an eclectic mix of colors and shapes. Not unlike a painter who is inspired by color, pattern, and light. The range is wide and the effect is quite amazing. Rugs of all sizes and colors - from small sizes for bath mats or table runners to room size. For the floor or the wall. Designs range from simple, old-fashioned striated to checks, plaids, stripes. Rugs with stars, hearts, leaves, beads, flowers, geometric shapes like triangles, diamonds, angled squares, and on. Colors from soft breezy blues, fresh fern greens, folk art inspired primaries, Mexican inspired hot shades, milk paint colors blended to a warm patina, lichen, earth and metal tones, and of course every flower from my garden!

Plus there are many portfolios here for you to see more ideas for design and color for your custom order. Bring your swatches of upholstery fabric, paint, wallpaper, flooring, even your favorite rocks for me to match.

Old Point Comfort Gallery is located 6 miles south of Rt 1 in Waldoboro, Maine between the historic village center of Waldoboro and the charming fishing village of Friendship. One hour and fifteen minutes from the center of Portland, one hour from Augusta, and 3 hours from Boston.

From the south: Travel north on Rt 1. Just before you get to Moody's Diner (to your right) turn right on to Rt 220 which is the Main St going into Waldoboro. Go thru the village and then follow Rt 220 as it turns left in the center of town. From that corner travel 5 1/2 miles south, towards Friendship. Watch for the Old Point Comfort sign, and turn left immediately after the sign and before the big barn. First house on left.

From the north: Travel south on Rt 1 to Moody's Diner, then turn left on to Rt 220. Follow the directions above.

From the west: Take Rt 220 out of Augusta and stay on it until you get here.
