- 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

I've always loved this duet with Prine and Dement--thanks for posting it.
Did you know that Iris Dement is married to Greg Brown?
Hi Don
Yes, I do know that! I found out in an interesting way! In my jr year at Maine College of Art (2005) one of my classmates, a girl named Zoe, did an installation - she recreated her living space inside a MECA hallway - her bedroom, her living room - and she tagged all her belongings with a little card with written info about each piece. It was a very engaging installation and one day I was reading her tags while she was running up the stairway nearby. I saw some poloroids of a middle aged man and a woman and on the tags it said, this is my father, Greg Brown, and my step-mother, Iris Dement. They are both folk singers. I yelled up to Zoe, Greg Brown is your father?!? I'm a huge fan of him and of Iris Dement! She beamed. Most of her young friends had never heard of her Dad. Zoe did the painting for the cover of father's latest CD while at MECA (The Evening Call) and she sat for a portrait. I've posted it somewhere, but if you go to my website and look at portrraits, it's titled Zoe with Strength. She is sitting in a sort of Girl with the Pearl pose.
