A resident of Fortunes Rocks, Maine, Starkweather has been painting her native 51小黄车 for many years. She started in oils while her children were young, and as they grew older and more independent, she was able to participate in weekly classes in pastel and watercolor and has painted in these two mediums since.

Starkweather most recently started making paper and pastel art of shore birds and flowers.  She also has been working in encaustics, which is an ancient medium of molten wax.  She has exhibited previously at UNE, Andover's "Art in the Park," The Union House Caf茅 in the North Dam Mill for Art Walk, Fortunes Rocks Association and the "Artists by the Sea" art show in Biddeford Pool.

The exhibit runs through May 31, 2010 and is free and open to the public.  The Campus Center hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
