Maine, A Love Story — Butterfield '92

By Blue Butterfield, Class of 1992

“Can you live in a moment?”

This love letter to Maine from artist Blue Butterfield is a book of intimate essays illustrated with her evocative woodblock prints. 

Life isn’t easy on a farm outside Bar Harbor with her single mom, but they both find solace and joy in the beauty of Acadia National Park and in making art. This is a unique book about how you find inspiration and gratitude in attention: to nature, to loved ones, to ideas. From the peaks of Katahdin to the lakes of Mount Desert Island and the Casco Bay islands, her love of Maine shines from every page.
