Biddeford, Maine

Portraits Etched into Granite:  We know who is buried here because his portrait appears on his memorial. Other than the portrait, name, and dates, however, there is little to tell future generations anything about him. Judging from the size of his memorial, though, he must have had some wealth. In fact, in that face you can see the hard worker he probably was. Woodlawn Cemetery. [2019]

Portland, Maine

Headstone Sculptures:  Lovebirds in spring. In full form they remain for all time: Perhaps the great grandkids will know from the sculpture how much their forebears were in love. It is just so beautiful, how can we possibly classify it as funerary art? Evergreen Cemetery. [2019]
