Plymouth, NH—All are invited to join the member artists at
Artistic Roots Co-Operative Gallery in downtown Plymouth as they introduce
their newest members as well as welcoming several visiting artists during a
reception to be held on Friday, October 25, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Artistic
Roots located at 73 Main Street in downtown Plymouth.
We are pleased to have four new member artists
join the Co-operative Art Gallery over the past few months. Cari Ordway is a jeweler who specializes in
bead woven pieces. “I have been beading
for 10 years, but I have also recently began working
in precious metal clay and silversmithing.
I am so excited about it!” Cari enthuses. The gallery also celebrates Carole Halsey Keller, an extremely
accomplished oil painter. Donna Waeger
of Groton also joined the gallery this summer as a fiber artist. Donna knits lovely sweaters and scarves and
is co-leading a Sunday afternoon knitting group at Artistic Roots. The most recent addition to the talented
group is Ken Hamilton, recently of Plymouth.
Hamilton launched his photographic career in a darkroom working for a
large print company in Flagstaff, AZ.
It was there that he developed his creative appetite for a diverse
subject matter.

“We are also pleased to have
several visiting artists who have joined us beginning this month and displaying
their work for sale through January,” says Lynn Haust, current President of
Artistic Roots. “We have created a
lovely location in the gallery to showcase their work collectively and we think
our customers will enjoy strolling through the vast array of artwork in the
gallery.”
Visiting artists to be featured
include Andrew Thompson, gifted wildlife photographer from Wonalancet, NH. Andrew owns Wild Light Images and visitors
to Artistic Roots are sure to be impressed with his vivid images of many of New
England’s beloved animal residents. We
are also pleased to have the pottery of guest artist Sue Henke. Her handmade cups, bowls and saucers have
already caused much excitement among shoppers, with the vivid glaze colors
being a common comment. Nancy Conklin
also joins the group and adds dimension and beauty with her fabulous quilting.
She offers a diverse grouping of precision work ranging from small wall art and
table runners to full size quilts.
Shoppers are sure to be enthralled with the charming hand-woven baskets
and whimsical gourds of Jane Darling of Canaan. According to Debbie Johnson, Coordinator of the Visiting Artist
Program, “Jane does something new that we have never been able to offer at
Artistic Roots and we are so excited about her work!” Rounding out the Visiting Artist’s display is oil painter Mary
Walker, of New Hampton. Walker is a
modern impressionist and award-winning painter who enjoys the challenge of
capturing a moment in time while exploring the colors and textures within her
view. Much of her inspiration comes
from discovering intimate scenes while walking the back roads and beaches of
New England.
