All Around Art Follow Up

I wanted to follow up on my previous post from 2008, when I first wrote about the Maine’s Center for Creativity’s concept and contest to paint the Portland’s oil terminal tankers. Well, they have stated they are underway toward completion.

Jean Maginnis, founder and executive director for MCC, said when the project is complete it will be the world’s largest piece of public art. Some 261,000 square feet of fuel tank will be covered in paint — eight full tanks and the tops of eight more. Maginnis said the project was designed with a Google Earth-level view in mind.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
