Home Paintings Photographs Handmade Paint Drawings About me




I was born 1978 in Long Island, New York. I studied painting, drawing, sculpture, & photography along the way and in 2000 I received a BFA in Painting from Boston University. During 2007 I moved to Manchester, ME with my husband Brian and my twin sister, Joy, to start our dream of Sweetland Retreat, an Artist Retreat and soon-to-be Bed & Breakfast. I teach encaustic classes at Sweetland so check out our schedule or contact me to set up a class! Commissions/custom orders are gladly taken, please contact me for more info:  jamieribisi {at} gmail.com
