Mozelle Studio Print + Web Design

[maureen farr]
Beginning as graphic designer for Preview! Magazine, a weekly arts publication over 22 years ago, Maureen Farr held various positions including head designer, assistant to the publisher, and editor, until becoming production manager for three monthly fisheries newspapers. She held that position for five years prior to starting Mozelle Studio, her own design business, in January, 1999.

Over the past 12 years, she has worked with a broad range of clients and projects, including the design of business cards, promotional postcards for artists and galleries, newsletters, brochures, and catalogs, as well as books for publishers and self-publishing authors – a part of the business that she finds extremely rewarding.

In June 2000, she started Arts Guide, her own publication, an annual guide to the arts in Downeast Maine. Originally intended to focus specifically on the Deer Isle, Stonington and the towns on the Blue Hill Peninsula, its scope has broadened over the ensuing years to include Castine, Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, and the Schoodic Loop: Hancock, Sullivan, Gouldsboro and Winter Harbor.

In 2008, she took the big leap into web design, and has found that to be extremely satisfying. She has designed websites for a number of clients. Check them out on the web design page.

Also a visual artist, she works mostly in encaustic and mixed media, incorporating found objects and other ephemera she picks up along the road of life, as well as acrylic and plaster on panels.

In 2009, she expanded her jewelry-making to found object and sterling silver pieces. She occasionally offers art classes in her Deer Isle studio. You can visit her art website to see more of her work.
