About the Artist

Hi.... Loraine Janelle here....!

I've been a hobby photographer for as long as I can remember. But for nearly the last 30 years, I've had an attraction to Maine art & home decor. Living in the woods of Western Maine, I have nature's wonders in my own backyard...Pleasant Mountain is my front yard, the White Mountains of New Hampshire are to the west and the beautiful Coast of Maine is just over an hour away!

In October, 1998 my husband & I opened a "rustic gallery", HEMLOCK HILL, on our property in West Bridgton, Maine. Here, I incorporated my husband, William Janelle's art and custom furniture along with my photography and rustic decor - vintage and new. We were open for seven years. Years later I revisited my love for art, photography and decor by renting vendor space here in Bridgton in several group shops.

William, my husband who is a sculptor, guitar maker and craftsman and our beautiful dog, Isabel, experience life with me.
