Exhibits
At our library, we believe that art has the power to inspire, enrich, and connect communities. We take pride in fostering a dynamic connection between our artists and the community. Through our exhibits, we aim to not only provide a platform for local talent, but also encourage dialogue and appreciation for the arts.
We actively seek out emerging and established artists from the seacoast area, providing them with a platform to exhibit their work. By highlighting local artists, we celebrate the unique perspectives and cultural diversity that enrich our community. If you are interested in exhibiting your art in our space, please fill out our request to exhibit form, or contact our Programming & Marketing librarian, Tori, at t.simpsontucker.nhpl@gmail.com.

Artists’ Statements
Haley C. Brown
My name is Haley Brown, I am an artist and an author, currently 23 years old. I work in a variety of styles including abstract, pop art, and mixed media. I’ve been painting since age 15 and have exhibited in galleries across New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Recently relocated to South Carolina, I am eager to showcase and sell my work.
Abbey Rose DeMartino
I am a 20-year-old artist who has embraced art for the past 6 years. Initially an emotional outlet during high school, art has since evolved into a profound expression of self. Through my creations, I delve into spirituality, reaching a transcendent state where I feel a divine energy guiding me. Art, to me, is a reflection of my life and essence. It transforms pain and hardship into beauty, capturing truths that elude words. My art is not just a product but an extension of my being, a testament to my journey towards self-discovery and healing.
As we strive to foster a rich cultural atmosphere and establish the library as a center for creativity, we invite artists who wish to exhibit their work to contact
Tori Simpson-Tucker at t.simpsontucker.nhpl@gmail.com.

Explore the fascinating world of both painting and printmaking as two award winning NE based artists combine worlds.
CITY: Diane Francis, artist and educator
“I’m a Sculptor, Painter and Printmaker.. As for printmaking I adore it but woodcarving is my love. In the realm of woodcarving, my artistic journey is a dance with angles-a symphony of lines that breathe life into the wood. Each carve is a deliberate exploration, guided by the allure of angles that shape the essence of my creations. The interplay of light and shadow on these meticulously carved surfaces echoes the dynamic perspectives found in the architecture I adore. Inside the intricate world of woodcarving, angles become my storytellers, weaving narratives that resonate with the beauty found in every nuanced twist and turn.”

SEA: Cara Gonier, artist and art instructor
“The interpretation of Landscape is an infinite quest I must explore; deconstruct, refine, simplify, defy, blur, mark, scrape, saturate, desaturate… in essence, to paint the landscape in various and countless forms is to journal life in all it’s tenderness and boldness, it’s depth and light…
The paintings are open to interpretation and I encourage the viewer to create their own journey in finding personal significance in connection to the art.”
Established in 2023,
Cara founded and is the director of Rolling River Printmakers of New England; a New England Based group of professional exhibiting printmakers,
highlighting traditional printmaking applications.
