Elizabeth Sheehan
Artist Statement:
Elizabeth Sheehan started out as a Boston based artist, who first pursued her BA. in English with a minor in psychology from Eastern Nazarene College, Quincy, MA. After receiving her degree, she waited a year and began attending Massachusetts College of Art, where she received her B.F.A. in Painting in the year 1999. She taught art and was a preschool teacher for many years. Her work has been shown in Boston, Cambridge and Dorchester galleries as well as Open Studios in Dorchester and Somerville. She then moved to the Northshore where her work was shown at; Gasworks, SCAM (Salem Collective of Art and Musicians), Salem Arts Association, Marblehead Arts Association and Arcworks at the community Art Center in Peabody. Elizabeth now lives in Lowell, where she is a member of Gallery Z and The Brush Gallery. She has sold many of works to private collectors around The United States. She finds an interesting parallel between the visual arts and the art of letters, particular that which involves poetry. She believes that both involve the use of ordinary images, ideas, that can be juxtaposed in such a way as to somehow become extraordinary. She found herself, as a poet who used words to convey imagery, wanting to create paintings with the same dreamlike quality by combining, fusing and balancing the conceptual with the traditional. It is her hope to create an inner land of mystery, and an opening of the pregnant silence of being where creativity, understanding, wisdom, empathy and celebration may dwell.

Valerie Jeanne Borgal
Artist Statement:
“Art, like life, is a learning process that is ongoing. Our God has created beyond our imagination and given us so much to inspire me. The process is fun and exciting, because we never know what life will be teaching us. I am always amazed that as soon as I discover something new, there is always more to learn. People ask me, ‘Can anyone learn to draw?’ My answer is, anyone who can write their name, can learn to draw, and enjoy the creative process. I pray my art brings glory to God and peace and joy to the viewer.”

“Island Beauties“
Watercolor on Acid free paper 27 3/8″ x 34″ (Framed)
Double off-white matt w/Cherry wood frame
I had met the owner of the house and gardens in this painting at her winter residence where I had a show of many of my art works I had painted on Monhegan Island. After talking with her she invited me to paint her gardens the next time I was on the island. The following June I landed at the dock and searched for her home. I was amazed at the beauty and size of the flowers. What a privilege to paint there!

M Barbara Howes
Artist Statement:
I began to fulfill a life-long desire to paint when I turned 65! After attending a watercolor workshop in Maine, given by an accomplished art teacher and therapist, I started painting. I’ve been enjoying watercolor painting as both pastime and passion for the last six years. I keep learning through online tutorials, workshops, classes and on my own. About 10 % of what I create is my slowly developing skill and style; the remaining 90% is pure desire! Participating in the local art community is always a source of motivation and inspiration.

Laurie Simko
Artist Statement:
I grew up looking at the wood engravings of Clare Leighton (1898-1989), a Cape Cod artist who loved and was inspired by nature. I recently stumbled upon one of her small engravings of a seagull flying over a wave in the ocean that captivated me. I decided to do a series of seagulls in flight each over a tumultuous wave. The series of ten paintings is called ‘Churning Sea’. I created these paintings using acrylic paints on a Yupo paper, (polypropylene paper) and mounted onto cradled wood panels.
