For forty years, since 1985, when I moved to Friendship Long Island, Maine with my mother, artist Barbara Beebe, I’ve been observing, learning about and depicting the island’s plant and animal life, its weather and seasons in paintings, drawings and sculptures. Three long winters without electricity, and the incoming tide of light in the spring, taught me so much about light, and its ebbs and flows through the seasons.
I paint outside whenever possible, to observe and respond to the light and weather, and the bird, animal and insect life that carries on around me when I am standing still at my easel. A few of the artworks, like “Winter Solstice” were created in my studio working from photos I took on a disposable camera from the drugstore. See the full exhibit here.

In the Deep Woods: Paintings from a Maine Island exhibition from the summer of ’23
Susan Beebe has been painting in one spot in the deep spruce woods of Friendship Long Island, Maine, for the past three years. Her sixteen paintings are about all the life in a forest: moss and lichens growing on an old stone wall; the decay and life among the roots of the forest floor; seedlings to saplings to tall, mature trees, to snags, to fallen logs: and hints of animal and bird life.
