Annual Friends of Evergreen Meeting

Annual Friends of Evergreen Meeting

Next week, the Friends of Evergreen Cemetery will host their 21st Annual Meeting. The meeting will feature guest speaker, Jessica Skwire Routhier for a presentation Lament for the Makers: The Artists of Evergreen. The meeting is free and open to the public.

As director of one of Maine’s oldest museums, the Saco Museum, Jessica Skwire Routhier’s current project, the Moving Panorama of Pilgrim's Progress, explores how art, faith, and landscape intersected in 19th-century America through the work of Frederic Edwin Church, Jasper Cropsey, and others. She is the author of a scholarly essay that will provide the introduction for an illustrated edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress forthcoming from Kent State University Press. Ms. Routhier is a graduate of Bowdoin College and Tufts University, where she received her Master’s in Art History and Certificate in Museum Studies in 1996. After a fellowship in the European Paintings department of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Ms. Routhier joined the staff of the Portland Museum of Art, Maine. There she developed a specialty in 19th-century regional landscape painting, curating exhibitions and producing publications on Charles Codman, Charles Frederick Kimball, Harrison Bird Brown, and others.
