I am a silversmith who enjoys creating one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art. My specialty is designing and crafting custom pieces of jewelry commissioned by customers here in NH and across the country. I’ve been working for the past nine years in my studio in the Picker Building but now am located in the newly open Picker Collaborative Artists Building at 3 Pine Street, part of Nashua’s Historic Millyard district just off of Main Street.
Read MoreI am a fine artist from Contoocook, New Hampshire. I attended UNH Manchester, majoring in European History with minors in studio art and American Sign Language. After college I continued my art work whenever I could make time. Recently, I made the leap to become a full time artist. My work varies in medium – I explore oil, acrylic, mixed media, colored pencils, and ink. All pieces echo a love for New Hampshire's lush environment. Stylistically, my artwork has a surrealist feeling about it, with bright and vibrant colors, bending the world around into a sort of dreamscape. Art is my life's work and passion; creating is a vital necessity. I work from my home studio in Contoocook with my two rescue dogs (who love to help make art).
Read MoreI grew up in Chelmsford, MA and started drawing and painting at a young age. I was inspired by my middle school teacher and ultimately won the prestigious Gold Key Award and was honored during a ceremony at Faneuil Hall in Boston.
Read MoreAs a young child I was fascinated with color and form and this is what started my interested in art, specifically painting. Throughout my educational years, art always remained my focus.

Read MoreI live in Nashua with my beagle/hound Lovey, aka, the Love Bug. I studied Studio Arts at Oklahoma State University and Graphic Design at Hesser College. I specialize in Whimsical Expression – my paintings are primarily playful chromatic representations of Mother Nature’s amazing creation.
Read More“Mystical”... “Spiritual”... are some of the responses to my work. But, I am not a mysterious person. For me the work is about the edges of seeing and the way an image appears or reappears on the periphery of an edge. In my paintings I use oil paint and transparent glazes because of the sensitive quality of the medium and the nuances of value I can achieve. My work is color, light and shadow, and value relationships that are in and about the square. Focusing on the square eliminates any vertical or horizontal elements or narrative suggestions. The subject is deceptively simple. One shape diffuses into its background allowing another to move to the foreground in a soft shift of color and value. I like the subtle way the relationship of foreground and background changes as one looks at the painting. The “atmospheric,” “mystical” movement is created by the eyes’ optical journey through the work.
Read MoreI have always been aware of gourds and one day a few years back, I was curious as to whether or not I could grow a good gourd in the northeast. I have a hot sunny yard here in New Hampshire, so I thought it might be worth a try. Well it was, who would have thought I could grow such lovely gourds with our short growing season? Okay, now that I have gourds, what do I do with them? I scrubbed and dried and had several beautiful organic object, and now what? Experiment!!
Read MoreI refer to myself as a Pajama Artist, I love waking up with my cup of coffee and heading down to my studio at home in my pajamas to create, to revive, to make come to life a new piece. My love of finding inspiration in old pieces of furniture, old rusty, or run down items, has always been a passion of mine. My art is my way to be creative in a therapeutic manner, while allowing me to share the beauty that is possible by giving new life and new beginnings to old things.
Read MoreMy childhood interest in art matured into a love of painting natural landscapes by my late twenties. I draw inspiration by carefully observing the simple and beautiful characteristics of nature and then creatively express them in many ways using varied media – acrylic, watercolors, oil, paper, clay, wood, etc. I am largely a self-taught artist, with a passion and joy for travel and photography that inspires creative expression in my artwork. I am an active member of many Southern NH & Greater Boston area art associations, inspiring and getting inspired by other co-artists.
Read MoreI have been a watercolorist and an oil painter since 1965 where I was inspired by scenes of western Connecticut. Settling in New Hampshire in the 70’s I continued to paint and work in photography, spending 23 years working with the portrait photographer Arthur Whitty and painting freelance.
Read MoreFine Arts are an integral part of my design process. As a professional graphic designer, I spend a great deal of time developing ideas through illustration and sketches, which often develop into broader, non-commercial work. My children, Levity, Arabella, Music and Julian are all emerging artists, and their work is a constant inspiration for my own. We are a collaborative group exhibiting together at ArtWalk!

I became fascinated with marionettes at age six when I saw one in a toy store window. For my seventh birthday I received a marionette stage and a marionette and learned how to manipulate the string puppet by instructions on the box.
Read MoreI have always been creative, and art has always been a big part of my life. Whether it was teaching art in school or to my children at home, I have always felt a strong connection to the fine arts. New England is full of beautiful scenes that are just waiting to be painted. My favorite scenes are from the east coast, where the seasons change and where we have so many opportunities to view beauty everywhere...the mountains, the seas, the lakes, and farmland.
Read MoreI am a self-taught photographer living with my wife Beth in Nashua. I am very passionate about photography and I love to travel to new locations with my camera, where I enjoy shooting landscapes, animals and people, capturing unique images from all over the country. Find out more about my work at my web site and Facebook page.
Read MoreMy landscape drawings are done in pen and ink and are created through a rich blend of values and textures. I use a unique blend of cross hatching, contour and parallel lines, stippling and scrumbling techniques that create mood and feel of life and motion – as if I paint with my pens. While creation inspires most of my work, I also draw old barns and mill buildings that once were so central to New England life.
Read MoreI am an artist based out of the attic of some lady's house in Nashua. Photography for me is collaborative art between myself and the rest of the world. Sometimes the rest of the world is nature, sometimes it is a scene passing by that I hope to steal for myself and my viewers, and sometimes it involves very, very patient friends. When I find a good photograph in the wild and take it, it feels like finding treasure. Usually when I take a photograph I feel like I am capturing or taking something (stealing) from the world.
Read MoreAs the discoverer of a process, a new form of 3D Art that generates color projections off a flat canvas when 3D glasses are worn, I have been creating art professionally for more than decade. Under the business name of Gidgeworld.com, the brilliant pallets in my on line art gallery can be enjoyed. I am also a NH state legislator and have introduced Bill 279 to study the Economic Impact of the Arts and culture. Bill 279 will give documentation to help to convince the public that when they celebrate, attend, invest in the arts and artists, it’s not just their hearts that are enriched, it has a significant impact on New Hampshire’s economy.
Read MoreProcess is my passion; the result of this passion is my artwork. Art making offers balance, a sense of calm. Patience, perseverance and passion.
