Biography:

Abbie Read received a B.A. in Studio Art and Art History from Oberlin College in 1978, followed later by a M.F.A. in Mixed Media from the School of Art at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. MI. In between she taught painting, printmaking and drawing at Concord Academy in Concord, Massachusetts. Following the pursuit of yet another degree, this time in Landscape Design, she and her husband Bart relocated to mid-coast Maine where her 10-year-old landscape gardening business, ARTgarden, is thriving.

During the winter months she returns to the studio and is currently engaged in making box constructions with found scraps of wood and other objects collected from the Maine shoreline, and which contain hidden worlds.
