Jean McLean
Maine artist
Nature photographer Custom framer |
Jean has devoted her life to what
she believes in her art. She began painting at 27 and
has never stopped; thus, she’s made a career as a artist
and nature photographer.
Jean owns and operates Memories of Maine Gallery in the
business district of Millinocket where she sells her
art, photography and manages a custom framing business.
Jean is a member of Professional Picture Framers of
America and strives to educate her customers about the
benefits of conservation framing.
A visit to the gallery can keep you entertained for
hours. The gallery is 4500 sq. ft. of art, photography,
antiques, jewelry and fine hand made gifts.
Jean’s gallery is staffed
with friendly professional picture framers who run the
frame shop allowing Jean time for personal attention
with customers. The frame shop is equipped with a
computerized mat cutter that is used to create unique,
one-of-a-kind mats to compliment artwork and
photography. Jean has designed specialty mats for sale
that are not available for purchase in retail stores.
Some, however, are available for sale in “Our Store”.
Jean also takes orders if you have a special mat you
want designed.
Memories of Maine Gallery is in Millinocket,
which is one hour North of Bangor, Maine. Millinocket is
a scenic community located in the foothills of Mt.
Katahdin and is near Baxter State Park. Jean has a
summer studio home where she paints located on a lake
looking directly at Mt. Katahdin. Jean has always lived
in Millinocket and she has accumulated thousands of
photographs of the mountain and the surrounding area.
She has sold her art and photographs over the years to
people from all over the world.
Nubble Lighthouse
When you visit Memories of Maine Gallery you will
 see
evidence of how much Jean loves all of Maine. Jean has an extensive portfolio of Maine
lighthouses in artwork and photography.
“It has been a challenge to get to most of Maine’s
lights because out of approximately 80 lighthouses, only
12 can be driven to.
I have personally been to 75 of
them by Coast Guard, private yacht, helicopter, and
sailboats. “
Jean has used her slides to give presentations and talks
to schools and various organizations.
"It has been fun
learning the history of Maine lights and I enjoy passing
those stories on" .
Original - $2,000 (Giclee
reproductions available)
Although Jean lives in
 interior Maine, she loves painting
seascapes. “I don’t have to see it to paint it because I
paint what I feel from within.”
Jean spent four winters living by the ocean and has it
in her blood.
Dusk
"Dusk" was painted inside Monroe Saltworks (a pottery
shop) as a demonstration to the visiting public.
Jean used nothing except her imagination to paint dusk,
a 24 x 36” size in approximately 3 hrs.
Original: $1,500 (Giclee
reproductions available)
