Alan Lishness

Alan is interested in how Maine can become an even better place to live and work. He serves as Chief Innovation Officer at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, designing engaging science-learning opportunities for middle school students across the state.

He's interested in how education works in other places, and what we can learn that may be applicable to Maine. He's intrigued by the rapid pace of change, and by how new ideas are accepted (or not) in different cultures.

He finds that Maine people bring very relevant skills to the challenges of our times, and he's particularly interested in how our tradition of making, growing and fixing things may guide our economy in the coming decades. He likes to travel, read and design and make things himself. At TEDx John Bapst, he'll be talking about the pace of change, Maine's tradition of innovation and why we can be optimistic about Maine's future.  

Judy Taylor

Judyʼs work consists of figurative and narrative paintings, labor-focused work, landscapes and portraiture. Her scenes of workers and nature often incorporate
Maine residents as models. Prior to coming to Maine she lived and studied in New York City, transferring there from Chicago to study figurative art. She was accepted into New York Academy of Art on full scholarship and received her Masters certificate in their pilot program. She went on to study painting at the National Academy of Design with Harvey Dinnerstein and Ron Sherr. In 1996 she relocated to Maine and was an Artist-in-
Residence at Acadia National Park. Since 2002 she has resided full time in Maine
where she maintains her studio and teaches there and at workshops in Austin, New
York, Italy and France. In 2007 she was awarded the commission to paint the History of Labor in Maine which took a full year to complete. Her work is in many public and private
collections including: Johns Hopkins University, the United States Park System, Friends
