"Maine built more ships, by total tonnage, than any other state on the East Coast, and by 1855, a third of the vessels produced in the United States were built in Maine. Down-easters from midcoast Maine carried miners to the California goldfields, ice to India, and wheat to Europe." —From the Introduction Loretta is Fellow and board member of the American Society of Marine Artists, and a six-time winner at the International Marine Artists Exhibition at Mystic Gallery. Her work has been exhibited at the Peabody Essex Museum (Salem, MA), the Mystic Seaport Museum (CT), the Frye Art Museum (Seattle), Maryland Historical Society Museum (Baltimore), the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens (Jacksonville, FL), The Mariners' Museum (Norfolk, VA), Maine Maritime Museum (Bath, ME) and Penobscot Marine Museum (Searsport, ME).
