Artist statement: I have been practicing digital environmental landscape photography for the last ten years, and film for many more. From the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont to the seacoast locations of Maine and Massachusetts, I looks for iconic images during the best seasons with incredible light.

Sara Lyons
$195.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: Especially when they were younger, images of my children hinted at some unconscious wisdom guiding them through the commotion of growing up. In newer work, I now see beings becoming aware of their own power as they begin to navigate the world on their own. With this independence, there is often less opportunity for collaborating and making more photographs. The pandemic, however, offered an unexplored circumstance that gave rise to recent portraits like the one you see here.
Specific medium: C-Print

Jacqueline Marchesseault


Artist statement: The blurry edges between mental health and illness, the variability of states of being, and the tangled interweaving paths of memory, meaning and response - all are central concepts that inspire me as an artist. While the subject matter and approach of each piece varies, that emotion is inseparable from my art. Through elements of repetition and memory, variation and cohesion, I often seek to capture something as intangible as the complex interworking of human thought and emotion.
Specific medium: Acrylic Paint, Matte Medium

Basket of Berries
Basket of Berries
Ann McCrea


Artist statement: It's all paper all the time! Pulp and mâché are two media that I thoroughly enjoy. Working with paper pulp means releasing some control to the medium. I enjoy how the pulp changes with slight movement or the placement of new pulp detail. My most recent pulp paintings are much smaller than "Berries". They are a pulp / diaries of places I've traveled. I incorporate train tickets and maps, that, when they settle in the pulp, they become as mysterious as the travel itself.
Specific medium: Paper pulp with magic marker

Natalie McGuire
$499.00


Artist statement: In the presence of my art, you can open yourself to another plane of consciousness; it awakens your curiosity about what lies beyond the frame; what you see is personal to you. My surroundings play a big role in my photography story. When I am out in nature with my camera, it’s through texture, lines, colors, etc., that I get my inspiration. I primarily use color images to capture the vibrancy of Mother Nature’s glory, but when the mood and setting are just right, I photograph in infrared.
Specific medium: Digital infrared - black n white photo
