Amy relocated to Maine from New Jersey in April of 2020. She’s a practicing fine artist, editor, and writer. In 2010 she founded Brave Girls Art, a creative workshop series for girls and women, which was folded into the small business she began with her wife in 2013—The Creativity Caravan, an organization whose mission was to design and facilitate creative programs across the United States. Most recently she co-founded the small press Toad Hall Editions and acts as their Creative Director. Amy brings more than fifteen years of experience in creative arts programming, exhibition curation, and community building to Waterfall. She loves to swim as long as she can after summer ends, write spontaneous poetry, and make ridiculous dance videos wearing an inflatable bluebird costume.
Bridget Matros came to Maine in 2013 after 12 years in Boston where she designed and ran the Art Studio exhibit at Boston Children’s Museum, among other art programs around the city. At the time she was also a performing musician and event producer. Prior to that, Matros studied Sociology and Psychology at Oberlin College while completing a fellowship in nonprofit leadership. Bridget taught music and art at Cornerspring Montessori in Belfast for five years while growing a fleet of programs at Waterfall Arts. She also travels New England as a teaching artist. As the Youth & Family Outreach Manager, Bridget makes sure everyone has access to art. She teaches workshops, afterschool programs, and camps, trains parents and teachers, and creates fun All Ages Arts Happenings.
Originally from Rockport, Cate graduated from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, and spent most of her adult life living in Seattle and Washington, DC, before recently relocating to Camden. She brings experience in nonprofits, volunteer management, and copyediting to her role at Waterfall Arts. Cate spends much of her spare time thinking about art projects to attempt, new recipes to try, and the knitting projects she really should finish one day.
After decades of living elsewhere, Liz returned to her New England roots in mid-2020 and has lived in mid-coast Maine since. She went to art school for a few years and then studied comparative literature for a few years, and then went out into the world looking for experiences. Some of her jobs have included: book designer, net mender, pottery pattern designer, knitting pattern tester, newspaper typesetter, and researcher. When she’s not doing various and sundry at Waterfall Arts, she’s painting, working with her two cohorts at Toad Hall Editions, walking the trails and the beaches and imagining what might come next.
Tim isn’t originally from Philadelphia, though he has lived there longer than any other place. He was born in the suburbs of Chicago, worked toward a BFA from Indiana University, and then went on to earn his MFA from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Tim has been a frequent visitor to Maine for the past 20 years and recently relocated to the mid-coast from the Sonoran Desert where he was serving as Visiting Professor of Fine Arts at Arizona State University. He has also taught Drawing and Painting at Drexel University and the Community College of Philadelphia, and co-founded a small, informal Artist’s residency in Umbria, Italy. When he’s not at Waterfall Arts, Tim divides most of his time between family and maintaining a studio practice as an artist.
Jeff Densmore hails from Richmond, Maine and has lived in Waldo County for the past forty years. Music has always been his calling. In 1979, Jeff studied music at UMaine Augusta and from then on has played drums in many different settings–from country to jazz and theater to gospel. In 1989-1990, Jeff studied drum set and congas at Drummer Collective in NYC and in 1992 took a trip to Guinea for an intensive drum and dance workshop. Currently, Jeff plays hand drums with an acoustic trio called Cafe Dayz. Jeff has three excellent children that he encourages to sing, dance, and play music.
Katherine is a native Floridian who traded white sandy beaches for Maine’s snow covered tree-tops in 2013. A recent MPS graduate from Maryland Institute College of Design, Katherine is a painter, printmaker, graphic designer, and published philosopher. Her work focuses on embodiment and existentialist philosophy, esotericism, and humanity’s innate drive to create meaning. She loves listening, asking deep questions, and connecting to others through art and conversation. When not in her home studio, you can typically find Katherine zooming about downtown Belfast on her bicycle, “Gary,” on her porch enjoying a book, or behind the scenes at Waterfall Arts.
