Spofford
Deborah Lloyd Kaufman, acrylic paint, abstract/expressionist style
Website: deborahlloydkaufman.com
61 Westmoreland Road, Spofford.
Works with acrylic paint in a style that is abstract/expressionist. Her vibrant work has been exhibited in the Monadnock Region for many years. Kaufman's paintings evolve through the process of putting layers of paint on the canvas to build rich and complex areas of color. The subject matter is the interaction of color with emerging forms and shapes."

New Ipswich
Judith Prager, painter - landscapes, still life, abstracts; figurative.
88 Upper Pratt Pond Road, New Ipswich.
I love the process of painting...the sensuous feel of placing paint on the canvas, the surprise of seeing how my visual or inner images translate to the two dimensional surface...the delight of seeing what happens when I put one color next to another...the intrigue of making all these elements work together to create a vital painting.

My work most often explores human emotion, expression, and vulnerability. I create a variety of figurative works, as well as paintings depicting personal items.
William Thomas, furniture master.

15 Todd Hill Road, Rindge.
Furniture design has always had a symbolic side to it. Custom furniture reflects the client’s tastes and ideas about society and place. It is my desire to provide my clients with furniture suitable to the homes and lifestyles they have chosen.
Susan Wadsworth, works on paper.
www.susanwadsworthart.com
22 Mountain Road, Rindge.
Explores the linear and coloristic rhythms of the landscape. Inspired by the work of American Modernists and Rothko as well as Asian painters, she straddles the line between realism and abstraction. Many of her works included images of childhood from the mother's point of view, but now as her children are growing up, she is returning to landscapes again for inspiration, including images of the American West, Guatemala, France and New England.

Keene
Luann Udell, fiber arts and jewelry.
www.luannudell.com
271 Roxbury St. Keene.
I make all kinds of artifacts, I use these artifacts to make jewelry, sculpture and fiber wall hangings. I imagine myself an ancient artist working in ivory and soapstone. I dream of giving these to people I love, people who wear them daily until they are worn smooth by the touch of human hands.
Nicole Caulfield, portraits and still-life.
www.nicolecaulfield.com
271 Roxbury St. Keene.
I am drawn to realism and the subjects I render for many reasons, but I always come back to the beauty of the ordinary, and the challenge of the rendering. The beauty of ordinary objects lit perfectly sitting on a table, the light hitting a child's eyes so that sparkle comes through, the light bouncing around the inside of a box, these ordinary, yet spectacular moments, inspire me to create a piece of artwork.
Bob Askey
Nelson
Frankie Brackley Tolman, colorful painter.

17 High Mowing Road, Nelson.
I am constantly bowled over by the heartbreaking beauty of the world and am compelled to translate the emotional response that I experience (what Milton Avery called “the ecstasy of the moment”) to paint and paper.
Sienna Merrifield Giffin
