Meet the Artist

Hi, I'm Brandy Raymond, an artist based in Monroe, Maine. I paint the natural world - from wide open landscapes to the quiet details of the forest floor. Nature is where I find peace, and that feeling is at the heart of everything I create.

Florence Farmstead is the place Nick and I call home — a small patch of rural Maine where we work, build, and create.
