Welcome to my blog. This is my 'happy place'. As one follower wrote to me: 'had forgotten what an oasis of joy your art and photographs are'... That about sums it up.

About Me

Genevieve: Maine, United States; I have a studio in a 200 year old farm house on the bank of a small river. I am an artist and elementary school Visual Arts teacher by profession. I am inspired by nature, color, and quirky things. I love many types of art, and hold a very high regard for good illustration and design. I recently became a National Board Certified Teacher in Visual Arts - Early and Middle Childhood. I teach 300 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. They keep me very busy. I graduated from the Putney School, once upon a time. I hold a BFA in Drawing from California College of the Arts. My Etsy shop for knitting is: SnowDayArtist. My Etsy Shop for art prints is: GenevieveKeller. On Facebook: Genevieve Monks Keller - Snow-Day Artist. On Craftsy and Ravelry, I am SnowDayArtist. On Pinterest... I'm either SnowDayArtist or Genevieve Keller.

and invite
my soul. -Walt Whitman

"Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”

― Hafez (14th Century Sufi poet)
