In 1882 After briefly advertising himself as an artist in the Rockland City Directory he exhibited in Boston in 1881 and in 1884 was a member of the Boston Art Club. He maintained a position in bookkeeping and accounting, until his travels to Europe. Following the death of his father in 1887, Burpee became an heir to the family fortune which, combined with his painting sales and savings, allowed him the freedom to paint and travel without the financial pressure. He received a bronze medal for pastel at the St. Louis Exposition of 1904 before other shows around the US including the L. D. M. Sweat Museum (now Portland Museum of Art), the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters, and the Copley Society, Boston. He moved back to Rockland in 1913. His art is in various art museums.

Amanda Case Millis (1986- ) received an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a BA from Smith College. Her work has been recognized in numerous exhibitions throughout the US and Australia. She has been awarded many painting residencies, including The Monhegan Residency. "I expected to be completely drawn to the dramatic coastline, but the fallen trees and root structures of the woods inspired me. I examine the everyday and the often overlooked. For me, painting is a responsive and mindful act where the aim is not to copy the world but to find a new reality in each painting." Amanda's website is HERE.

Remo Farruggio (1906-1981) was born in Palermo, Sicily but moved to New York City in 1918 when he was twelve. In the late 1920's he moved from the city to Woodstock, NY, the site of an artist's colony. He moved back to NYC for the WPA. Following a time in Detroit during WWII where he had an exhibition at the Detroit Museum of Art, he returned to NYC where he became friends with actor and artist, Zero Mostel, who in the 1940s built a seasonal home on Monhegan, Mostel collected Farruggio's work. As Farruggio became well recognized as a painter he travelled abroad. In 1964 he began spending summers in Provincetown, Massachusetts. His introduction to Monhegan may have been through his art studies in New York with noted Monhegan artist Abraham Bogdanove, or Mostel. Farruggio painted on Monhegan from the 1940's to 1960's. His works are included in the permanent collections of a number of museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and the Smithsonian Institution for Art.

Ruth Boynton (1915-2003), while in Montebello, CA in 1930-32, taught in the public schools. She had six children. On Monhegan..."I work outdoors, usually on four paintings at a time: morning sun or clouds, afternoon sun or clouds. The wild, intricate tangle of foliage and woods, and the wonderful pattern of rocks and cliffs intrigue me most. Although the result is realistic, I approach the painting as an abstract, emphasizing varying color and design... My daughter, Caro, the youngest of six children... affectionately named this rock up by Cathedral Woods, The Town Hall, when she was nine years old." Sally Boynton, daughter: "My mother loved this scene." Doug Boynton, son: "It (Monhegan) was a sacred place for my mom." Ruth Boynton of Longboat Key and Monhegan Island, Maine, was born in Boston and was a winter resident of Monhegan the last year of her life. She was a self-employed artist and a member of Women Artists of Monhegan Island, McLean Water Color Society and Vienna Water Color Society. She was represented by Lupine Gallery on Monhegan Island.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, she summered on Monhegan Island, ME for fifty years from when she was 32-years-old until her passing, 1928-78. Well-known and loved on Monhegan, McPherson would sometimes hang her work by clothespins at the back of Monhegan's Periwinkle coffee shop, selling her miniatures for as little as five dollars. She was a bohemian artist who was part of the Greenwich Village circle that included John Reed, Rockwell Kent, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Eugene O'Neill. She lived in Paris during the 1920s and was the subject of a series of photographs by Man Ray. She was a friend to Marcel Duchamp, Djuna Barnes, and other avant-garde artists and writers. Her work was little exhibited in her lifetime but was praised highly by critics and by her wide circle of artist friends. Her early work consisted primarily of large pastels but she later produced mostly watercolor miniatures in a neo-primitive style, taking on a variety of subjects including wheel barrels, oil lamps, seagulls, and nudes.

Source: Wiki, various, edited
Tree of Age was one of Drexler's earlier representational works with a clear connection to her coming abstract paintings, reflecting a blend of the real and the imagined.. Born in Virginia, Lynne Mapp Drexler (1928-1999) moved to New York City in the mid to late 1950's to further her study art under Robert Motherwell and Hans Hoffman. She and her husband bought a summer house on Monhegan Island in 1971. By 1983, Drexler lived year-around near Lighthouse Hill on Monhegan Island, an artists' haven off the coast of Maine. The island people and landscape were the subject of many of her paintings from that time. Her husband spent more time ashore and found moderate success as an artist, while Lynne lived alone on Monhegan. Drexler's paintings became less strictly abstract and exhibited a synthesis of abstract and representational influences, though with no substantial commercial success in her lifetime. In 1999 she died at her home on Monhegan Island. Posthumously, her art was profoundly recognized and successful, collected by major museums. Her work at auctions has realized prices up to $2,027,000 USD for paintings, and $208,275 USD for works on papers.

Inside Cathedral Woods - original poem


Inside Cathedral Woods 
by Bruce McMillan, 9/10/2026

(a sixteen line poem to take you there...)

On an island, Monhegan, tall 
spruce trunks form a high canopy, 
as shafts of sunlight slant their way 
through.

While one's eyes are drawn up, skyward, 
underfoot, fallen spruce needles 
form a soft carpet, a light red 
hue.

Serene quiet fills the moist woods. 
It invites a pause to embrace 
the stillness; its calm envelops 
you.

Standing among greens, moss, ferns, and 
sprouting seedlings, the future woods 
invites a close look, the coming 
view.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Inside Woods Color Rhyme

Through 
hue 
you 
view.

That Cliff Rock - Essay

Pencil on paper, 14" x 11" (w x h), 1944
Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC



This is the standing rock to the right of Pulpit Rock when looking down from land. This photo view's perspective is to the right of Morris Kantor's drawing view. He drew it in 1944. Ironically, I photographed the same rock in 2026, though I didn't discover Morris Kantor's drawing until after I returned to the mainland when I was perusing online Monhegan art files in the Smithsonian American Art Museum website.


Above my plein air setup is Pulpit Rock. To the right is the unnamed cliff rock that Morris Kantor chose to draw from approximately this perspective.

In the summers of 1916-1919 when Edward Hopper was drawing and painting on Monhegan Island, in this drawing he included this rock as a bordering rock on the right when he made this drawing of Pulpit Rock at the center.

Morris Kantor, born in Russia (Belarus), was a painter. In 1906, at 10-years-old, he was brought to New York City where he learned to support himself at a very young age. By the time he was twenty, he'd saved enough money working in the garment district to enroll at the Independent School of Art in New York. Kantor went on to become a prominent artist and teacher in New York City. He taught at the Art Students League for thirty years. He continued to travel and study, and in 1928 married fellow artist Martha Ryther, a recognized master of painting on glass. A prolific artist, Morris Kantor produced a diverse body of work, exploring many styles ranging from abstraction to realism.


Today, Seagulls still visit this Morris Kantor drawn rock and paint the leading seaside viewing edge in accented-edge-white, though it isn't an archival white.
