Fabulous time at Exeter, New Hampshire art gallery. Exhibit dates are Friday Saturday July 23rd and 24th.

What a lovely weekend. Thank you to everyone who came out to the gallery for Laura Harper Lake's opening to see her new dynamic body of work "Facing Afar"! Beautiful art, beautiful day, beautiful connections (and reconnections). Laura had visits from several friends and a few instructors from her college days... which would make anyone's heart sing.

Conversations about art, life, and moving forward in this crazy time. Thank GOODNESS there is art to bring us to a place of well being...and Laura's show was a spectacular way to enjoy adventure, change, and reflections. 

Below are a few pics from the day. Her exhibit will continue This Friday and Saturday July 23rd and 24th 11-5 each day. PLUS Laura will be at the gallery both of those days. (please note: we are closed for a few vacation days this week on July 21 and 22).

Summer at the gallery. Exeter, New Hampshire

One of the things we love most about nice weather at the studio is being able to flow out to the front porch ...or to the back garden to make art or to host events. Some of our best creative thoughts come when we shift seasons and space.

Thank you to everyone who stops by to chat, drops in for an inspiration "refresh", who comes to our events or who tours the murals for fun or for a selfie. We love seeing you and hearing about what you have going on.

Here are a few pics of some moments during summer days. Drop in anytime Tuesday - Saturday 11-5.

Her creativity grew into a viable future after attending and graduating from Chester College of New England. She began her official business as an artist under the name Artful Harper Studios in 2016, having displayed her work in various galleries throughout New England. She is a permanent artist represented at the Art Up Front Street Studios & Gallery in Exeter, NH. She co-hosts a podcast, Creative Guts, that interviews other creatives from all disciplines and communicates their passions, development, and adventures  about their creative works and businesses. 

Open Mic: What a fun event in Exeter.

We know there are open mics around at a few places. We don't do them often here at the studio, but when we do it brings us closer to our art friends for a different reason. It is not just "visual" art that tugs at our creativite hearts, but the sharing of other passions and talents. 

Thank you to Creative Guts Podcast for organizing and hosting this event! We love what you bring to our space and our collective hearts. 

And thank you to the guests who came to share and soak it all in. Beautiful day.
