“Designing the Maine Landscape provides a fascinating introduction to the range of designed landscapes in the State of Maine. It demonstrates the remarkable artistic skill and imagination that have been invested in our landscapes by generations of landscape architects and their patrons, both public and private.”

Charles E. Beveridge, Series Editor, The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted

Author Theresa Mattor studied printmaking at Syracuse University, and received a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from the University of Oregon. In 1988, she moved to Maine, where she became a registered landscape architect. Based in Portland, she has focused on both historic and contemporary properties, designing parks, subdivisions, and private residential landscapes (which she also installed); preparing comprehensive town plans and master plans for historic landscapes; and researching and writing, and lecturing about contemporary landscape design, native plants, and historic landscapes. She lives in Hollis, Maine.
