Birch Fun Facts:
•White Birch differs from the Aspen in that the bark of the birch is chalky feeling, peels, and sheds whereas the Aspen has a smooth white bark, marked only by the scars where branches which have fallen off. The leaf on the White Birch is slightly "V" shaped and more elongated. The Aspen leaf is generally flatter and somewhat heart shaped.
•The horizontal markings called lenticels and act as pores on the tree.
•Both trees are native to North America.
•Also known as a Paper Birch or Canoe Birch the Native American Indians used the birch for the outside of their canoes and layered on their wigwams.
•The Anglo-Saxon and Gallic cultures used birch bark for shelter and clothes. The buds and leaves were used for food.
•The sap from a birch tree can be used to make a sweet syrup, similar to maple syrup.

Meet the Maker
I am pleased to say at this stage in my life, I am a professional and national award-winning artist. I have been drawing and painting for most of my life with more than 50 years of art experience through prestigious artists workshops and self-teaching and it took me a long time to give myself this career title as we artists are always our own worst critic.
My roots were planted at an early age as a traditional oil painter, but I love creating in several other mediums as well including graphite drawing, watercolor painting and needle felt and fiber, which I started exploring over the Covid days in 2020. I figured hey, why not try something new while it was quiet, and I fell in love with the texture of the wool and fibers! I still use the other mediums today; it just depends on how I feel on a given day.
After teaching art classes privately for over 40 years and studying art myself, I felt that color mixing was never addressed clearly enough in any of the workshops I took or in books I read, so I began my journey to understand color mixing. By mixing lots of color groups I eventually found that the easiest way to mix was to use less colors using the Color Wheel, a tool we all seem to have but never really know what to do with it. This led me to write a book that was also in part, inspired by my students, titled "Harmonious Color Schemes, a no-nonsense approach using the Color Wheel" which was published in 2014 under my name Elaine Barrette Farmer and can be purchased as a text book through Amazon still today. I am also proud to say that The Color Wheel Company endorsed my book, allowing me to use their Color Wheel in examples I created for the book, and they also have a link on their website tying it to Smashwords, a digital publication.
I have created over 80 coloring book images and because of the teacher in me, I created the Step-by-Step instructions to go with them. I love sharing my art knowledge and although I consider myself semi-retired, I don't see myself ever stopping creating or teaching the odd art class here and there anytime soon.
I am also a juried member of numerous associations including the New Hampshire Art Association and the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.
I do offer prints for several artworks so if you are interested, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for visiting my shop!
