Barbara Goodbody moved to Maine in 1973 after having worked on Senator Edmund S, Muskie’s Presidential campaign where she met many wonderful people from Maine. Goodbody was immediately embraced by the community in Portland and
while raising three children she became active in the Portland Junior League and helped found Big Brothers Big Sisters. In 1986 in mid-life she found her personal passion in photography inspired by attending the then Maine Photographic Workshop (Now the Maine Media Workshop) in Rockport, Maine.

Sisters (#41)

The ties between siblings are a unique mix of the biological and psychological. Shared DNA can go way beyond the physical, especially when it joins the same gender. Join us today as we explore the highs and lows of sisterhood with two sets of remarkable sisters: Best-selling author and sea captain, Linda Greenlaw and  her sister, Beth Shissler,  co owner of Sea Bags Inc, and Jessica Tomlinson, Director of Artists at Work at Maine College of Art and Board President of Space Gallery and her baby sister, local hip-hop artist, Sonya. Whether you have a sister or just feel like you do, discover how these kind of intense relationships add joy and inspiration to life.
