Meet the artist!!

Johanna Szillery is an ecologist based in Millinocket who has a love of all things outdoors and figuring out the why... of botany, of natural communities, and of the landscape.
She is trained as a soil and wetland scientist who decided to take a leap when volunteering to paint for Take A Seat Katahdin. She draws her inspiration from her mother, who was both an inquisitive mathematician and a talented artist and crafts person. Johanna's
creativity is most often practiced in cooking, though she loves pursuing seasonal projects, especially in community with friends and neighbors.
