My paintings reflect the things that I am drawn to oceans and water, skies, forests, marshes, and meadows. I’m also inspired by my travels and I love cities and architecture.

Diane Carten Lynch – Pottery Pop Up Nov. 2 to Dec. 2
As an artist and art therapist, my ceramic work is a meld of both form and function. While my work may be viewed as sculptural, it is also functional, inviting the artist and the observer to take a second look. A sculptural ‘vessel’ can be teasingly functional and a surprise to the observer.
Pop-Up Artist Suzanne Anderson
Suzanne Anderson works in a wooded lakeside studio in Maine. It’s the perfect place to become immersed in creative exploration. In the incredible beauty of my surroundings, I find myself powerfully drawn to the landscape.
Pop-Up Artist Christina Vincent
Each piece is handmade in a small scale wood studio. I strive to use a palette of native hardwoods.
