Portland, ME

Mary Ruth Hedstrom and Jane Ryan are painters; Lynn Krauss is a painter / printmaker. They have been soul mates for over 10 years and share a love of textiles, especially linen. Mary Ruth is a minimalist, Jane, a lover of things bold and colorful. Lynn feels strongly both ways.

These mid-career artists are now applying their particular sensibilities to making hand-stitched and block-printed linen scarves. Their inspiration comes from well-worn ephemera, the geometric patterns of architecture, and all things Japanese and Scandinavian.
