Annadeene Konesni grew up on the island of Islesboro and in the hills of Appleton, Maine. She and her family lived in a tent the year she was 7, while her father built their house around them out of some new, but many recycled materials. The house as it grew, was always filled with music, good food, and games. This vibrant upbringing in Maine is where Annadeene's creativity was fostered. Annadeene graduated from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2004 and is thrilled to be settling down back home, this time in Belfast, Maine. Her home and studio are filled with color, vibrance, music, and dance- much of which is visible in her collage work.
