About the artist

Jeanne M. Stewart

I grew up in the seaside town of Scituate, Massachusetts.  Walking distance to the harbor and as a free range kid of the 70's, I spent many a day hanging around, studying the local artisans...Paul McCarthy the woodcarver, his wife Donna the Scrimshaw artist, Cribbin Shea the leather craftsman, Donna Green the painter, Bill Verge the goldsmith...for a kid who dabbled in the arts, Scituate Harbor was a magical place.  I think that is where my love of the "lost' arts began (fish prints, scrimshaw, Nantucket Lightship basket weaving).  


I didn't choose a career in the arts.  Instead, I spent 28 years with the Massachusetts State Police, retiring as a Captain in 2014.  With retirement came the ability to try new things and learn new skills. This website showcases some of those creative tendencies.


Enjoy!
