\"Mary <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Artist Profiles:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Mary and Joe Devenney<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I had the pleasure of speaking with two genuinely lovely people this past week, and writing about the beautiful pieces they create for our shop. Mary and Joe Devenney work as full-time artists, making pottery from their home and studio in Jefferson, Maine. The creativity that emanates from both of them, as well as their children, is astounding. They have taught and influenced each other, encouraging new ideas and inspiration for all different types of media. Joe had not touched a piece of clay before meeting Mary–and that\u2019s a whole other story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe was working in Woods Hole, Massachusetts when he befriended one of his coworkers, who happened to be Mary\u2019s brother. Meanwhile, Mary was teaching in Derry, New Hampshire and was engaged to someone else at the time. On Christmas break, Joe ventured home to visit family. On New Year\u2019s Eve, he got set up to go on a date–ironically with one of Mary\u2019s fellow teachers. The next morning, \u201cI snuck out before breakfast,\u201d Joe laughed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Joe<\/span><\/p>\n

The date had taken place in Manchester, not far from where Mary lived, so Joe decided to stop by on his drive home. \u201cMary was home in her living room, trying to take down her Christmas tree,\u201d Joe remembered. He helped her toss it out the second-story window, and they spent the rest of the day together. I could hear the smile in her voice when Mary reflected back on that moment. \u201cI remember thinking, \u2018Well, this guy\u2019s kind of nice,\u2019 and the more I got to see him I thought, \u2018I like this one better than the other one\u2019…it\u2019s terrible, but it\u2019s true!\u201d The rest, you see, was history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mary was an art teacher in Derry, and with Joe expressing interest, she began teaching him to throw pots on the classroom wheel after school. Every once in a while, her students would want to throw clay in class and she\u2019d put a stop to their behavior immediately. \u201cBut as I\u2019d get towards the end of the year, I\u2019d tell them that I did have <\/span>one<\/span><\/i> clay fight,\u201d Mary claims. It was with Joe. \u201cI took a hunk of clay and slapped him in the face with it,\u201d she laughs. Looking back, it <\/span>was <\/span><\/i>pretty fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Maine<\/p>\n

Shortly after they married they moved into an old farmhouse, bought a kick wheel and put it in the basement. They\u2019d throw pots in the dank and dark, and later Mary would take them to fire in the school kiln in between firings for her students. After getting the hang of this new routine, Mary and Joe took a two-week workshop in Dunbar, NH from a very well-known potter, Jerry Williams. \u201cWe worked from six in the morning to eleven at night for two weeks. It was really quite inspiring,\u201d says Joe. They brought their new knowledge back to their old kick wheel in the basement, and kept at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

During visits to their daughter in Bath, Mary and Joe would take time to walk the streets and pop into shops. Passing by Lisa-Marie\u2019s Made in Maine, they wondered if it was a place they could sell their pieces. Nudging each other through the door, they took a look around and thought, \u201cWow, they have a lot of potters…they\u2019d never want to see our stuff.\u201d Friends of theirs, Pam and Kevin White, would chat about selling photography at Lisa-Marie\u2019s and the easy-going, familial atmosphere of the shop. One day in January, Joe took a chance and walked back through those doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lisa-Marie's<\/span>Lisa-Marie happened to be there that day, and she suggested they bring in a few pieces for her to look over. Within a few weeks the Devenney pottery was newly featured amongst the shelves of Lisa-Marie\u2019s Made in Maine. \u201cWe went from admiring the store from the outside to admiring it from within!\u201d Joe exclaims.<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, Mary and Joe have settled into their lives as full-time artists, producing pottery for local shops and craft fairs around Maine. Through their experience at Lisa-Marie\u2019s, they\u2019ve come to appreciate the opportunity to be creative and add new items to their inventory, with the ability to step back and see what happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Maine<\/p>\n

Feedback from managers and staff have led to new additions, one of those being Christmas ornaments. All year round, these delicate ceramic tree-hangings fly off the hooks. They\u2019ve even begun collaborating with their daughter Nina, incorporating her hand-drawn and painted designs onto their signature mugs. Joe explains that \u201cknowing Andy and Lisa-Marie as much as we do, or as little as we do, it still feels like we\u2019re dealing with–\u201d \u201cfamily,\u201d Mary says, finishing his thought. And creativity seems to run in <\/span>their<\/span><\/i> family, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nina<\/span><\/p>\n

Nina Devenney, one of Mary and Joe\u2019s daughters, has recently joined Lisa-Marie’s artist lineup. She\u2019s a queen of all trades, dabbling in various types of media. You can find some of her beautiful paintings, cards, and jewelry between both shop locations. Her skills were curated from a young age. <\/span>\u201cI remember–I think I have a picture of her–when she was 3 years old, I gave her clay and watercolors at the table all at the same time. She didn\u2019t know what to do!\u201d Mary recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Devenney<\/span><\/p>\n

Mary and Joe own many of her pieces, as well as their daughter, Angela\u2019s photography, on display throughout their home. \u201cOh yes\u201d, Mary laughs. \u201cWe have a big painting in the living room, and a wreath all the things that are special in our family. We have a photogravure of her and her sister called <\/span>My Estuary<\/span><\/i>, it\u2019s really beautiful.\u201d That\u2019s not all. The Devenney\u2019s can\u2019t leave out an up-and-coming artist from their home gallery. \u201cWe have our 5-year-old granddaughter\u2019s first drawings hanging, too.\u201d As I speak with them on the phone, I can imagine their cozy house, proudly and tastefully decorated with artwork by both owners and their family full of artists. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, there\u2019s a lot of stuff in this house! You wanna tour? I\u2019ll give you a tour!\u201d chuckles Mary.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Love<\/p>\n

Inspired by family, students and friends, the Devenney\u2019s have made countless pieces in their years as artists. Their designs have changed throughout time, but along the road they have achieved a signature style. It features glazes of teal blues and seafoam greens accompanied by a pop of contrast with dainty, red hearts. Influenced by her students and driven by their love for Valentine\u2019s Day (and each other), the hearts evolved during creations. Beginning as \u201cbumpy hearts,\u201d as Joe lovingly called them, they modified them to be simpler, smaller, and a whole lot smoother– resulting in their iconic mug and bud vase designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning your passion into your career can be a tricky path. Whether it be researching start-up funds or the challenge of keeping a steady yearly income, Mary and Joe have experienced the journey from full-time employment to full-time creation. \u201cWhen you\u2019re involved in the arts it\u2019s a real gift. It\u2019s not like when you reach a certain age you have to retire and figure out what to do, \u201c Mary says. \u201cYou can keep on doing what you\u2019ve done, you know? It\u2019s awesome, I feel pretty lucky.\u201d The key to happiness is loving what you do, and you might have to work hard to get there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Switching gears, we touched upon the looming COVID-19 crisis and how it was affecting our daily life, our future plans, and the ability to connect with friends and family. Knowing that we have been swimming in updates and news revolving around the pandemic, I asked them what they\u2019d be doing on a perfect day, untouched by the Corona Virus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Popham Sunrise By: Joe Devenney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mary answered first. \u201cI would get up early and feed the birds–Ha! Joe\u2019s in shock because I never get up early. Maybe walk around the yard, make some pots, then go out to have breakfast with some friends, like Kevin and Pam. Then go for a walk on the beach and come home and check on the kiln.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Joe\u2019s answer followed suit. \u201cI would get up at 4 o\u2019clock , and I\u2019d ask Mary if she\u2019d wanna go and she\u2019d say \u2018No thanks.\u2019\u201d They both crack up. I do too. \u201cI\u2019d go to the sunrise at Pemaquid or Popham beach–I\u2019m an old photographer– so I\u2019d go there and take some photographs and work until it got late enough that the nearest coffee shop would be open. Then I\u2019d hang out with a cup of coffee and a biscotti. After, I\u2019d come home and throw some pots. If it were summertime, I\u2019d probably saute some scallops and make supper with Mary…and I\u2019d have several glasses of red wine,\u201d Joe finishes, their laughter echoing in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Devenney<\/span><\/p>\n

Their love for each other and their passion for creating has driven the two to lead lives with no regrets. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to speak with Mary and Joe, especially during this time of \u201csocial distancing,\u201d a term I personally have mixed feelings about. While we are remaining <\/span>physically<\/span><\/i> distant, it\u2019s the <\/span>social<\/span><\/i> connections that keep us together. The Devenneys warmly welcomed me into their lives, even if it was only for an hour long phone call. Before hanging up, they spoke about how they were thankful for the ability to continue working during this uncertain time. And as a small business, <\/span>we<\/span><\/i> are thankful for their endless hard work, producing pottery for our online shop–and for other local businesses, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe said something during our chat that stuck with me; something I think describes the way the Devenneys have cultivated an appreciation for life and the way they live it. \u201cWe moved to Maine to be potters back in the mid-70s, and after about ten years of making pots, I said to Mary \u2018Jeez, you know I\u2019d like to do something else besides spending my entire life in a two-car garage\u2019.\u201d He chuckles. \u201cA couple years ago I said to Mary \u2018You remember when I said that? Now I feel like the only place in the world that I want to be is in our two-car garage\u2019.\u201d If we can channel Mary and Joe\u2019s outlook during moments of doubt or uncertainty, we can step back and discover newfound appreciation for the daily routines, the wonderful people, the doting pets, and the meaningful hobbies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the little things that make life that much better.<\/span><\/p>\n
