FEATURED ARTISTS FOR JANUARY 2026:   
 ❄️  Becky Chappell  ❄️  Dody Susslin  ❄️
Becky Chappell
I really cannot remember a time when I wasn’t interested in art. Life has taken me down different roads, naturally, but it’s always called me, and it has always been my heart’s desire to create art. I feel our creativity is our soul’s expression, and it can teach us so much about ourselves if we’re paying attention. Recently, I find myself only interested in the abstracts, mixed media pieces. They are so expansive and freeing. I love and work in most mediums... acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, alcohol ink, collage, and printmaking. I don’t like being constrained to one medium, subject or style.
Dody Susslin
I began to teach myself to sew in high school when I realized I could make my own clothes. I immediately got the bug and spent years sewing for others.  My bags are a fun alternative, and I love looking for bright patterns and colors. The combinations of different fabrics and styles are endless!

FEATURED ARTISTS FOR DECEMBER 2025:   
Janice Decooman | Lindsay DiDio | Dorothy (Dot) Goulet  | Sally Tarr
Janice Decooman 
​My life and my art are inspired by the magical, healing qualities of nature. I enjoy working with wood, painting, carving, and pyrography, and with fiber from my angora rabbits; spinning, knitting, crochet, and using natural dyes, including indigo grown in my garden. 
My first painting as a very young girl was a single, large iris in my mother's garden. I knew then that Art & Love were the same. We are inspired by something that touches our heart and mind, and by studying and creating, we hold it dear. 
My latest work, now in process, is inspired by the rabbits I love and tend to every day; drawing, painting, and storytelling with the theme of 'What Is Real', as my beloved Velveteen Rabbits certainly are.
Lindsay DiDio 
 As an art educator, I'm interested in many processes and materials, but over the past few years, I’ve come to really love stained glass. I love creating something beautiful that captures the light. I also have a graphic design background, and have always worked with lettering and Illustrations. Colored pencil, pen, and watercolor are some of my favorite materials to combine. 
When creating stained glass, I start with sketches and research. Then I move to the computer to draw my design. I use my Cricut to cut out the vinyl stencil pieces. Once I label the stencils, choose the glass, cut them out, and grind the edges to refine the shapes, I apply the copper foil before burnishing. Once the burnishing is complete, I reassemble and arrange the pieces, apply the flux, and begin to solder. Once the soldering step is complete, I use Novacan Black Patina to blacken the solder and finish the piece. ​
Dorothy (Dot) Goulet 
I am mostly a watercolor artist, but I incorporate gouache and acrylic into my pieces, as well as foil and other metallic accents--lately I have been adding this to my prints so they are each one of a kind.
My painting style ranges from a semi-abstract to an entirely abstract, modern style. I love using negative space and saturated color to create a sense of movement and pop. I love painting subjects with lots of color and detail, but I think color can be added to any subject matter to give it interest.  My favorite subject is trees... I have been called "The Tree Lady." No two trees will ever be the same, and no one tree will ever look the same from season to season. I am inspired by the beauty around me in Vermont, and I love having an outlet for creativity, either to create art or to experiment with art supplies and find inspiration to learn more about various techniques.
Sally Tarr
In addition to working with 100% wool, Sally creates quilled designs. Quilling is a very old paper art technique that uses narrow strips of paper, folded into various shapes and combined into a design. Sally enjoys the wide variety of designs she can create in her quilled pieces, from natural subjects to more geometric designs.  
Sally is a lifelong hand crafter.  From knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross-stitch, smocking, sewing, and quilting, she has always been drawn to fiber arts.  Although her career was in education, Sally was the kind of person who always had several projects underway at once. Now that she is retired, she has the time to devote to her artistic passion.  Sally is enjoying discovering the many ways she can incorporate fiber arts into her designs.

Shanna Ratner makes art because it changes the way she experiences living. She is always looking for things that inspire and fascinate her, and that challenge her to see the world in new ways. Shanna believes that there is nothing an artist can produce that does not already exist someplace in nature. She believes that our job isn’t to invent things, it is to witness them, make a record, and present them for contemplation. 

Cherie Marshall is an artist from Burlington, Vermont working primarily in kiln-formed glass. She designs and makes glass art pieces, bowls, platters, and ornaments. Cherie also creates patterned bars of glass and uses those and bits of murrini and frit (crushed pieces of glass) to make thin, lightweight, and colorful earrings and necklaces.

FEATURED ARTISTS FOR OCTOBER 2025:   
Deb Shell | Sarah McGarghan | Gillian Ireland | Longina Smolinski
Gallery reception to be held Thursday, October 9th, 4:30 - 6:30 PM  

Deb Shell
I have been a clay worker/potter for most of my life. I think about the physical world in terms of textures and shapes. My intention is to offer meaning to the pots I make so that they may transcend their utility or function to provide a moment or two of connection to the beauty of our natural world of which we are all a part. Having a beautiful mug, plate, bowl, or vase that came from the earth to become a useable form through fire, never ceases to amaze me. 
​

Gillian Ireland
Artist Gillian Ireland is Psychotherapist by day and a potter by night. Gillian throws stoneware pottery on the wheel and generally makes functional pieces. In recent years she has experimented with different glaze techniques but has found some tried and true combinations and tends to stick with them. 
​

Sarah McGarghan
Understanding and documenting the essence of life’s intricacies is what is so important in photography.  I continually strive to capture these moments whether it be on a safari in Africa, walking along Hadrian’s Wall in England, photographing a family reunion or a senior portrait.  My photography portrays the spirit, the heart, and the heat of the moment, evoking emotion, and conversations as seen through the lens.  For me, that is what photography is all about.
​

Longina Smolinski
Longina Smolinski holds a Master’s Degree in fine art from her native Poland. She creates handcrafted jewelry, sculpture, and paintings in her studio, and exhibits internationally. 
FEATURED ARTISTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2025:   
David Juaire | Martha McGinn | Cat McKeen | Deborah Travis | 
Gallery reception to be held Thursday, September 4, 2025, 4:30 - 6:30 PM  
​David Juaire
​I am a self-taught photographer. My favorite subject to shoot is landscape scenes, even though I did many weddings, senior portraits and wildlife photos.  I have sold over ninety calendar pictures for the Co-op Insurance Company.  The photos I sold to Vermont Life Magazine include desk calendars and special publications like the VT Department of Tourism.  I also sold images to a national magazine company in Pennsylvania that sold poster prints through their magazine called The Framing Loft.
Martha McGinn's background in chemistry and medical research informs her approach to the deep colorful glazes of her functional pottery.  Explorations in texture, shape, and color result in an ever-expanding body of work. In addition to her wheel-thrown and slab-built work, Martha sculpts expressive “healing heart angels.”
Cat McKeen
​I create art that evokes a feeling within my heart & soul. My hope is the art will speak to others and create a response, maybe laughter, a bit of wonder, or even spark a memory. 
​Deborah Travis
​I am a watercolor and fiber artist who is inspired by the natural environment.  My works utilize painting, indigo shibori, eco printing, batik and dye techniques on paper, silk, and other fibers to convey my love for the beauty of the outside world!
FEATURED ARTISTS FOR AUGUST 2025:   
Kristina Bolduc | Tess Follensbee | Barry Genzlinger | Maureen Genzlinger
Gallery reception to be held Thursday, August 7, 2025, 4:30 - 6:30 PM  
Kristina Bolduc is a life-long artist who received a BA in fine arts with a focus on printmaking and painting. She approaches each piece in a spirit of freedom, allowing the work to evolve as the process inspires her to research and develop a deeper viewpoint.
​Kristina is one of August's featured artists at the Artist In Residence Gallery in St. Albans, Vermont.
Tess Follensbee has been creating art ever since she was five years old. Over time, her passion for art making only grew, and she began selling her work at various craft shows alongside her grandparents. Through primarily acrylic paint and mixed media, she explores subjects from portraiture and figures to silly animals. In the fall of 2024, she will be starting her first year of college at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts.
Tess is one of August's featured artists at the Artist in Residence Gallery in St. Albans, Vermont.
Barry Genzlinger turned his first pieces of wood on a lathe under watchful eye of his grandfather in the early 1960s and soon fell in love with the medium as well as the process of turning.  He turned a number of earrings, rings and other tiny items.  He then began a long career as a teacher, husband, father and computer software designer which kept him away from the lathe.  In 2006, almost 45 years after turning his first pieces, he purchased his first mini-lathe and set out to make a beautiful bowl.  After an hour of work it turned out to be a spinning top.  He made an attempt at turning a goblet.  Another top!  A pepper mill.  Another top!  Finally he figured it out.  He should be making tops!
Barry is one of August's featured artists at the Artist in Residence Gallery in St. Albans, Vermont.
Maureen Genzlinger has been making decorative ornaments since 1979 when she began wrapping crochet thread around a double tetrahedral form made from folded cardstock.  It was a quiet and peaceful way to relax after a day of teaching her kindergarten and first grade students and caring for 3 young children.  
Today, after more than 45 years of practice, she has made these simple forms into works of art with intricate patterns of color and texture.  The wrapping materials have expanded from crochet threads to silk ribbons, hand spun and hand dyed threads, textured yarns and silk threads.  Wrapping techniques have evolved to include reverse wraps, multiple layers and a variety of materials on a single form.  Different size forms are combined into mobiles and beautiful stands are created from reclaimed wood scraps to display the different shapes and sizes.
Maureen is one of August's featured artists at the Artist in Residence Gallery in St. Albans, Vermont.
FEATURED ARTISTS FOR JULY 2025:   
Chris Jenkins • Natalie La Rocque • Susannah Sakal • Meta Strick

Picture
Chris Jenkins - I am a painter of landscapes, abstract art and thematic pieces.  I believe that the process is as important as the product.  That one should involve the viewer  in a way that creates questions and stirs their imagination.  All of my pieces are about who and what is important in my life.  Examples are God, my husband, family, animals, energy, antiques, gardens, nature and water.
Chris is one of July's featured artists at the Artist In Residence Gallery in ​St. Albans, Vermont.
Picture
Natalie LaRocque has immersed herself in the beauty of nature.  As a Vermont inspired artist she feels compelled to capture the images she sees and share them through her paintings and photography. Natalie's paintings can sometimes be quite large, with hopes of enabling the viewer to experience the same sense of inspiration and gratitude that generated her artistic expression.  
Natalie is one of July's featured artists at the Artist In Residence Gallery in ​St. Albans, Vermont.

FEATURED ARTISTS FOR JUNE 2025:   
Terry Buehner • Wendy Everhart •  Jaimie Katon •  Karen Mulkey

Terry Buehner  has created jewelry for over 20 years. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and is based on a unique story.   Terry's media include polymer clay, wire, wet-and-needle-felting, driftwood, stones, and repurposed items such as fabric, bicycle parts, and vintage beads. ​
​Wendy Everhart - "I have worked in clay throughout my life, and enjoy both throwing on the wheel and hand building techniques.  My work leans towards functional pieces, but I find great joy in making nonfunctional Raku pieces.  Having recently established my own small studio, I am exploring new glaze combinations and techniques which lend another avenue of exploration to this art form."
Jaimie Katon - My inspiration almost always comes from the beauty of the colors in autumn landscapes or the blanket of winter before the holiday season. Although I have mainly focused on painting landscapes using acrylic paint, I have a new-found inspiration in the way these paints can meld so beautifully together through pour painting and acrylic skins. I strive to create pieces that others can enjoy and feel drawn to in their own way.
Karen Mulkey - I fell in love with jewelry making during college many years ago. Fast forward 30 years,
I am now retired after working in marketing and community partnerships for the University
of Oklahoma College of Medicine,
​I realized my love for jewelry making still exists. So, I have recently begun my jewelry making journey again with the help of a wonderful teacher/artist, Jolynn Santiago. My work started with a simple design, round shape, then progressed to geometric shapes then unto organic shapes.  Not only did I explore shapes, I experimented with different techniques such as piercing, sweat soldering and impressions. I love the creative process using metals.

As we navigate a new landscape and develop new strategies for living, we meet one another eye to eye, masked or unmasked, and open
