Check out our New Website

Manchester, NH - I am a believer in goals.  Setting them, sometimes accomplishing them, and always learning as I go along.  

One of my goals for 2008 was to establish an actual website for E. W. Poore.  In April I made major steps toward that goal by learning how to blog with this site at Blogger.com.  Over the summer and fall I managed to keep this going, and in November the www.ewpoore.com site was born.  

Yesterday, I learned how to put a link to a PDF file on the website, and now you can pull up the Art Studio flyer from www.ewpoore.com!

I hope you will visit and visit often.  Add it to your favorites.  I'll keep learning and adding to it!

On Display: photography by Betsy Gammons

Betsy Gammons, a graduate of The Rhode Island School of Design, has been employed as an art educator in Concord, NH since 1981. During that time, she was very fortunate to have been granted a two-year leave of absence to teach at the Frankfort International School in Germany, and then again at the American International School of Budapest in Hungary. Her travel experiences, whether home or abroad, provide her with much material for her work, which include pastel drawing, oil painting, and photography. She is continually inspired by color and design in the landscape, especially water, and the discoveries along and upon the water's edge. The images she shares with us are the result of a longing to wander off-the-beaten path in search of surprises that echo "stay this moment!"
Betsy's work will be on display in the Art Gallery through November 15th. We hope you will stop by to see more of her amazing images from off-the-beaten path!
