- I am an artist, an art teacher, a mother of five children, and a grandmother of four, and I live with my husband and our two cats in the woods of Woolwich, Maine. I teach drawing classes through the Continuing Studies Department at Maine College of Art in Portland, and now privately in my new (!) studio @ 72 Front Street, Bath. My blog 'Martha Miller' shares my art, my process, and my inspirations, and my blog 'Not Bad Thing' showcases my daughter Lisbeth's artwork and process. It is also where I share my experience as a mother of an adult child with special needs. You can see more of my artwork on my website @ www.marthamiller.com

The first one by Anne Harris is so real! It brings back memories of feeling like I would just have to live like that 'forever'... thinking the baby would never come. Funny how a painting can evoke such a personal, viseral (spelling?!) response.
Nice collection!
Brenda, I saw an entire room filled with Harris's pregnant self-portraits and it actually made me feel dizzy - I had to sit down! They are very powerful to see in person.
Oh - that Anne Harris exhibit was at the Bowdoin college art museum in Brunswick, Maine about 4 years ago.
She is unforgettable! Wish I could've seen them in person. I wonder if she has a website... I'll have to google her.
Hi Brenda
Here is a link to more images of Harris' work:

She has a book of portraits called Without Likeness - you can google that!
