Wyeth Paintings

I grew up in the small Pennsylvania village of Chadds Ford; in 1957, Betsy and Andrew Wyeth bought the other part of the old Quaker miller's lands we lived on and we've been very close since that time. As a child I spent a great deal of time at their house and on the river and islands which gave our stretch of that lovely valley an intimacy which, coupled with my sustained exposure to genius and accomplishment, set me on a lifetime's course.

One day, when I was in my twenties, Andy asked if I would consider photographing his paintings — I agreed to give it a try, and over the next few years became accomplished at reproduction photography. Even as it was good "bread-and-butter" business, its greater yield was the intimacy I was accorded with great paintings (Wyeth and otherwise), as well as extremely valuable experience with the technical and aesthetic processes of visual interpretation.

In 1978, Betsy and Andrew Wyeth invited me to visit them in Maine and, essentially, I fell in love and never left ... here I truly re-discovered "home." We became involved in a number of fascinating projects together and to this day are in close touch on a number of fronts. (See Wyeth paintings and Island Institute.) Of all that Andy and Betsy have done for me, that first introduction to Maine — its coast, islands and people — was the pivotal gift which changed my life in remarkable ways.

The other wonderful Wyeth family influence in my life has been my friendship with their son Jamie and his wife, Phyllis. We're all close in age and share a great many interests, and I am deeply involved with representing Jamie's original paintings. Jamie and Phyllis spend considerably more time in Maine than Chadds Ford these days which gives me the greatest pleasure. They have for years had a wonderful house on Monhegan island, but they now spend very little time there, preferring instead their properties in Tenant's Harbor and on Southern Island.

My life has been graced by my friendship with this remarkable family — I count them high among my many blessings.
