I Was Born in a Small Town | Maine Lighthouse Art Print
Story Behind The Art
A winter sunrise over a Maine lighthouse brings This Land Is OUR Land full circle.
Snow blankets the rocky New England coast as daylight returns over the Atlantic. After traveling across America and through the seasons, the collection ends here with a quieter kind of belonging.
This painting celebrates small-town America and the coastal communities whose lives are tied to public waterways and shores. From rural beginnings to endless horizons, these landscapes connect us.
The land does not belong only to the people who happen to live beside it. These places become part of all of us through memory, access, experience, and care.
Title inspired by "Small Town" by John Mellencamp.
This Land is OUR Land is a hand-painted gouache collection of nine panoramic landscapes celebrating America's wild places from California to Maine. Created in direct response to the summer 2025 threat to our public lands, each piece is named after classic songs that speak to our shared American experience.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your piece please frame right away. Natural light and exposure to air or water are the enemy of artwork. A glass frame (as opposed to plastic) is always preferred. Choose a spot on the wall out of direct sunlight. For original artworks I always suggest having them framed by a professional framer for a sealed back that further portects your artwork.
