The event will take place on Friday\, May 5 from 5-8 pm at the gallery\, located at 117 Market Street in Portsmouth\, NH. Marsha is an oil and acrylic painter as well as a middle school art and drama teacher. "Her work has such energy\, color and a little bit of whimsy and lightness to it." says Valerie Stainton\, gallery owner "I love to paint. There's something about taking a blank canvas or board and transforming it into an image that makes me happy. It's really as simple as that for me. Sometimes I choose to paint something because of the memory it evokes. Other times\, I just can't resist the color\, texture\, light\, or smile-inducing quality of the subject. In both my oil and acrylic works\, texture plays a large part\, and I use brushes\, palette knives and scrapers to create a lush feel with the paint. I find beauty in the goings-on around me. Whether it's a gull hanging out at the ocean\, my dog sleeping in the yard\, the sun shining just right on a house off the road\, surfers enjoying the waves\, or the scrumptious yellows of a lemon. I paint my world." About Valerie's Gallery - Valerie's Gallery is a art gallery and fine craft shop with two locations\, in Portsmouth\, NH and Newburyport\, MA. Since 2002\, it has showcased functional and decorative hand-crafted artful objects by 100 American artists\, mostly from New England\, featuring artisan jewelry\, functional pottery and original artwork by local artists.
