Lauren Alana

I began my jewelry making journey over twenty years ago, it started with a love of things that sparkle and some fishing line. Fast forward through the years, many experiments, classes and much growth in design and skill I am still constructing wearable art that more often than not sparkles! The ocean inspires me, and you can see that in the colors that I use the most. I call them mermaid colors. Like the ebb and flow of the waves, my work is always changing. I strive to always keep changing my designs, and advancing my skills. I love the dichroic glass because I would not be able to ever make the same piece twice. Only the finest components are used in my jewelry including sterling silver, Swarovski Crystal and genuine sea glass.

Jacqueline Barry

Presently living in New England has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Europe as well as lived in the Caribbean. Her father, a nuclear engineer, was also an accomplished artist and her mother was a published writer, therefore, being exposed to the various forms of art, it was natural to gravitated to both the visual arts and the written word. While writing came easy and sketching was fun, trying to find the perfect fit in the visual arts took some time. After much experimentation she discovered the world of pastels – vibrant, captivating and fortunately very forgiving. She first studied landscapes under pastelist Linda Obremski and what better place than in New England to study and photograph landscapes

Barbara Bevins

I am a self taught acrylic landscape artist inspired by my time hiking and backpacking. I am moved by nature, particularly the White Mountains and Appalachian trail. I've recently been working to expand my artwork by exploring with oil paints, and am looking to try watercolors and plein air.  

Suzanne Blanchard

David Bower

One adult education class years ago at the Merrimack High School in NH and I became hooked on wood turning. It’s definitely a good form of stress relief and I enjoy making one of a kind creations. I usually start out with a generic plan in place but each piece of wood is unique and I am guided by the wood itself that allows the true beauty of the wood within to shine through in the finished piece. I prefer working with woods that have some extra character, whether it happens to be a Burl or some sort of wood that contains the fine black lines of spalting, or maybe a piece of maple that shows the silvery trails left behind of the beetles that once roamed through the hard wood. One never knows what might be next on the list of things that I might create as it is usually the wood that helps decide the next direction to take.

Nancy Christopher

I have been painting off and on since the age of twelve, always hoping to spend more time toward my passion and that someday I would be considered an artist. I am self-taught and have played with many mediums but find oil to be my favorite. I love the richness of texture and color. I am intrigued to paint any subject, such as still life, landscape, coastal/marine, and floral. Plein air painting is my favorite classroom, but most of my work is done in the studio from memory or photographs. I am not focused on one style or subject, rather always learning. While painting, I am lost in the moment.  There is nothing greater than when one sees your creation and feels a connection and joy. I am drawn to the works of Monet and Sargent, along with many others, and love to visit galleries whenever possible.

Lisa Ciaccia

www.ciacciart.com   I’m a self-taught artist working in acrylics and instant coffee. My  studio is located in the beautiful town of New Boston in NH. Although I paint a multitude of different subject matter, my preferred is landscapes and seascapes. I paint many subjects using instant coffee which not only gives an aromatic delightful scent in the process, it also gives a beautiful sepia tone. I am an Artist member and exhibit with the Whistler House Museum of Art located in Historic downtown Lowell, Massachusetts.

Darryle Cockerham

I’m currently involved in color field painting and exploring implied three dimensional space using two dimensional shapes using color theory and the golden ratio. Philosophically, I’m currently interested in the middle-ground between the lightness of joy and the darkness of melancholy. My work is intended to convey the transition of each extreme through composition, color, and shading.

Priscilla Colón

Priscilla Colón, a Taíno Indigenous artist, teacher, and linguist, combines her love for visual art and languages to reconnect with her Indigenous heritage. Drawing inspiration from her home garden, nature walks, and summer excursions, she employs charcoal and pastels as her preferred mediums, immersing herself in a tactile creative experience. Priscilla's artwork serves as an expressive homage to nature and a means to continue the remarkable revival of the Taíno Indigenous language, thoughtfully interwoven into the titles of her pieces.

Tina S. Gagnon

www.tinagagnon.com Nature & Nostalgia – those are the subjects that I am, pardon the pun, drawn to. I am a hyper-realistic artist and the "devil is in the details" – the more details, the better. The medium of colored pencil affords me the ability to hone in on that aspect. Nature has so many nuances to them that detail is imperative to capture the essence of a living being, whether it is flower or animal. Nostalgia also lends itself to detail. The more detail, the more the image will come alive for the viewer – evoking their own memories attached to that particular object in the drawing. After choosing what I will draw, I lightly sketch out an outline of my subject. I start by coloring light to dark. Building up the color in light layers, building up and building up until the color "pops". This is usually accomplished in five to six layers of color. When you think that the piece looks "dull", keep building – and it will come alive. I will work on one area of the drawing and finish that area before moving onto the next, establishing technique for the rest of the piece to follow. Patience, is the key to my art. Most pieces I spend about an hour per square inch. More complex pieces can be twice that time. It is not uncommon for a piece to have more than one hundred hours put into it. https://www.facebook.com/TinaSGagnon/       https://www.instagram.com/tina_s_gagnon/ https://twitter.com/Tina_S_Gagnon

Elizabeth Hughes

Lifetime student of many media.  Classes at community centers, adult ed, art associations and with artist friends.  Recently moved to New Hampshire.

Tracie Jenkins

As an artist I find inspiration in the silent narratives of discarded, damaged or unloved books.  My creative process is driven by a reverence for the stories these books once held and the desire to breath new life into their pages.  I believe old books are not relics of the past but rather raw materials waiting to be transformed. Each book is like a block of marble, filled with potential, waiting for my hands to sculp it into something new and meaningful.  Just as a sculptor shapes clay into a work of art, I mold these forgotten volumes into fresh vibrant creations. Through my work, I am honoring the legacy of the written word while offering a fresh perspective on its enduring power. By repurposing old books, I hope to spark curiosity and inspire creativity and the endless possibilities for reinvention. Ultimately my goal is to evoke joy and wonder in fellow book lovers, collectors, and artist alike. I invite viewers to rediscover the beauty and magic of storytelling through my transformed creations, and to join me in celebrating the timeless allure of the printed page.

An active member of the Nashua Area Artists’ Association, she regularly exhibits her work in their ArtHub Gallery at 107 West Pearl Street in Nashua.  She also holds membership in the Hollis Arts Society as a juried member, the Pastel Society of NH, and the Central Mass Pastel Society.

Jim Luckern

I’m an older starter in the art world. I have been drawing and painting since I could walk. I have loved creating since I was a young child but took a 35 year hiatus to raise my family and train as a journeyman Ironworker. My steel career became art as I designed and built steel stairs for residential and commercial buildings. I retired at 58 years old because the physical ware and rare over the years have taken its toll on me. I picked up pencils again as soon as I got a chance and fell in love with the arts again. I have been creating portraits for commissions for three years now and I love to be around other creators. I constantly search for learning opportunities and I know that I can contribute time to organizations that have the same attitude as me.

Kyle Mandravelis

I was born and raised in Nashua NH. I always had a passion for art. Starting at a very young age. I always loved drawing. I took art classes in middle school and high school. That is the only training I have. I love working with colored pencils, pencils, markers, pens, acrylic paints and watercolor. The works that I do are contemporary surrealism and abstract for the most part. I enjoy trying different techniques and styles. Painting and drawing are my escape. Putting feelings and ideas into visual form.

Ronald Marcoux

remwoodcrafting@yahoo.com I am a lifelong resident of Bedford, New Hampshire, whose love of woodworking started around the same time my wife and I built our house in the backwoods of my hometown. Initially, I focused on furnishing our family home with beds, tables, armoires, dressers and cabinets as well as milling and installing our own hardwood floors. Occasionally I was commissioned to do work for others, but later turned town those petitions to focus on building pieces that interested me personally. What has most inspired me to make memorable, long-lasting pieces has been my family, and with the news of the arrival of my first grandson an idea sparked- I could make him his own wooden toys, specifically a rattle I had seen in Wood Magazine.  I had had a lathe in my workshop since I can remember, but I was a little afraid of it.  Making these new toys was the perfect opportunity to overcome that fear and master a new tool for my craft. Since then, I have become totally hooked with the craft of woodturning, creating bowls, vessels, lidded boxes, wooden tops and more from local wood that has been gifted to me through the generosity of neighbors and friends. Apart from the wooden bowls that I turn, I am also using the unused portions of those logs to create wooden utensils such as spatulas and stirring spoons.  The wood I work with dictates the final results, and since no two trees are identical, neither are any of the pieces I create.  All of the bowls and utensils are treated to be food safe and should last many years with proper care. For more information, you can contact me at remwoodcrafting@yahoo.com or 603-486-7992

B. Catherine McDonah

From the age of eight, when I received my first camera, I have been looking at the world through a lens.  My interest in photography began with snapshots of my life - family, friends, travels, my children, the milestones they achieved, the adventures they embarked upon.  As my children became less will subjects, my attention focused on my environment, the obvious and the less so. I find beauty in objects often overlooked, a doorknocker, a window frame, a weed at the side of the road, a dilapidated boat. The philosophy to "stop and smell the roses" is one we should all embrace.  I strive, through art, to encourage one to take that moment.

Brenda McDougald

I am a photographer who is very passionate about rural New England landscapes, with many of my photos in and around Greater Nashua and Hollis.

Kathy Meighan

Kathleen (Kathy) has been drawing and doodling since early childhood. A Connecticut native, Kathy attended the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. While at UConn, she received instruction in Watercolor and Oil Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Art History, Graphic Design and Illustration. She began her career working in various computer graphics positions, but over the past decade, has focused solely on hand-created art. Kathy is a mixed-media artist who employs a diversity of materials and techniques in her work; from painted glassware, collage, and colored pencil, to pastels, acrylics, altered books, and most recently, photography. “I begin nearly every new piece with a loosely-structured plan in mind. As my work progresses, I allow the piece to marinate and to evolve”, Kathy says of her work. The resulting artwork often conveys a quirky, whimsical, and somewhat 'funky' vibe. “A part of my soul, and personality goes into everything I make. Creating art has always been exciting, challenging, and very centering. It is most definitely, a labor of love,” Kathy says. She was selected by the Nashua Area Artists' Association, to display her work in the Art Hub Gallery as Artist of the Month in January 2018. Her collage entitled Birds of a Feather won an honorable mention at the NAAA juried competition 'Community' in May of 2018.

Artist's Statement

My love for Arts and Crafts began at an early age with paper dolls and designing their clothing and creating back grounds for them. I grew up in the small country town of Tyngsboro, MA. along with my 2 sisters and brother. We would often walk in the woods and the colors, shapes and textures of nature always fascinated me. I am still trying to capture that with my paintings. My favorite subjects come from nature. Landscapes and seascapes in New England provide an ever-changing scene to try to paint and the beautiful island of Aruba provides amazing ocean sunrises and sunsets. My first love is oil, but I am always experimenting with other mediums. My subject matter varies including landscapes, seascapes, florals, animals and house commissions. Recently I have experimented with capturing scenes in miniature paintings, (2”x2” up to 4”x4”) and found that I really enjoy capturing the minute details in such a small size. I am a long-time member of the Nashua Area Artists Association in Nashua, NH. and have served on the board as Treasurer and President.

Randy Snyder

I take great pleasure in not having a particular style as there is so much to explore in various ways to create a piece although I am drawn to the limited use of in my work.

Bob Trabucchi

www.sparkleluminous.com   Bob’s glass work is inspired by his love for geometric designs, rainbow colors, and the healing and calming impact colored light brings to a home.  He is drawn to bright colors and heavily textured shapes, which have a sparkle-luminous effect when backlit by sunlight and throw beautiful reflections around interior spaces.  He’s particular about exclusively supporting US-based art glass manufacturers who pay their employees a living wage, produce products that conform to the highest quality standards, and support their local communities. All his pieces are hand-crafted and all glass materials are hand-selected in order to ensure the best quality and effect. Raised in the small town in northern NH, his oil paintings reflect this love for the natural world and the mountains of NH where he hikes and backpacks often.  He is drawn to producing scenes of serenity, quiet, and fall/winter scenes in the forest. Bob is a part-time artist and a full-time resident of Nashua NH where he lives with his wife of twenty-six years and raised his (now adult) three children.  When not developing his art pieces, Bob loves to work restoring his Victorian era home and working in his garden.
