Julia is a compulsive re-user and upcycler. Born in Boston in 1965, Julia Ventresco spent the first 12 summers of her life blissfully swimming, sunning and beach combing on a small Maine island. That same island became the year-round home for Julia and her family when it was decided that Maine really was ‘the way life should be’- all the time. Julia’s ‘Upcycled’ clothing and accessories are proudly carried by Local Color.

Jenny Nelson was raised by the ocean, in the woods and on the mountains of Maine. With upcycled clothing designs, salvaged pieces jewelry as well as beautiful and uniquely printed/framed photography, her work is varied and completely sustainable. Although Mount Desert Island has been her home for years, Jenny now resides in Portland.
