According to a history written about the Whitin machine works, the Lasells of Whitinsville were “warm-hearted, sensitive, artistic people, socially gracious and fond of good living.” Although the first two of these characteristics were not ideal qualifications for running a machinery business in central Massachusetts, that is what they did, until textile work went south in the middle of the last century.

Juliet Kirkham Art Show Opening
I am a self-taught artist, working out of my studio in Berkeley, California. I have always been drawn to watercolor, but learning to use this mercurial and mischievous medium is a recent exploration. I am constantly thrilled with the interplay between water and pigment and the individualistic and often erratic behaviors of watercolor paints. For me, painting is a practice not a perfect - a constant way to witness and delight in the everyday world around us. Artist work is exhibited throughout the week and [...]

Art – Elizabeth Wood

Artist – Jillian Herrigel
Celebration Opens Sunday 4pm with Reception I paint slightly off-key and outside the lines — on purpose. I grew up exploring the coastal villages of England and later fell for the rugged coast of Maine, and that shoreline finds its way into everything I make. I’m not interested in copying what I see. I use unexpected color, shape, and line to reinterpret landscapes, seascapes, buildings, and animals — a little like Billie Holiday bending a melody. My paintings are a celebration of color, curiosity, and [...]
