Nature is a powerful force. It provides life for billions of people and it can take back those gifts in moments notice as well. It all depends on the balance that we are able to create. If we contribute to it with the respect that it deserves, nature reflects those contributions back to us with her
beautiful creatures and colorful landscapes. My focus and journey is to capture those amazing reflections in my works of art.
I find that tapping into nature can be very soothing and healing to the soul. With the different faces that natures presents, I can easily find inspiration from this plurality. On my canvas, nature is portrayed as a loving thing because this is how I see it. To express this love of nature, I typically use
warm and bright colors. Each item has many shades from which I create by mixing up a small number of mediums on the fly.
It is with this work that I hope to lift up people that are feeling down, to provide a scene in a painting that demonstrates something bigger than all of us as individuals, and to display and highlight the tremendous gifts that surround us every day.
The Library is always looking for artists who are interested in sharing their work with our community. Art must be deemed suitable for display in a public library within the broad standards of community acceptability and be appropriate for all age groups, including children. The Library reserves the right to reject any part of an exhibition. If you are interested in exploring having an exhibit, we'd love to hear from you!

Time Revisited
Artist Statement
Each of us carries with us a rich reserve of images, experiences and emotions. For me, those images and experiences include nature, events happening around me, current social issues, happiness, grief, loss and joy to name a few.
As an artist, I express those images and experiences by putting charcoal, unique papers, fibers, string, ink, paints and just about any materials that move me onto paper and layer with textures, shapes and color. My goal is to tap into what is within, bring it forward and create a work of art through the use of different mediums that can be shared with others. Because art is personal I ask my viewers to see what resonates with them as they view the work.
While there I also worked with children, shared paper and crayons with them. Some of the kids had never seen crayons or had the opportunity to draw before . I returned home with drawings done by the children and many photos of the country, the people, and life in the villages. The images and experiences of the trip continued to remain with me over the years. Now 12 years later, it is with the works in this collection, that I pay homage to the people, the love and bravery that inspired them to live urging my viewers to live in the moment, be kind and generous to each other.
The historic mills of Lawrence have been repurposed and are revitalizing the city. Under their majestic facade lies a storied past.
These mills are a point of civic pride for the city. Having stood for almost 200 years,
they are a mainstay of our community. Perhaps as we look at this collection
we can see ourselves as part of the greater community that surrounds these structures.
We could try to understand our neighbor, instead of thinking we know them based on the language they speak or the clothes they wear.
This understanding could lead to unity, and unity could lead to equality.
From there, the possibilities are endless.
Heather Scott is an artist and art teacher who has lived in Andover for the past several years. Ever since she was young, she has been drawn to creating food and animal characters and putting them in quirky situations. She enjoys working from a set of prompts and seeing where the words and ideas take her.
By day, Heather is an art teacher at Tremont School in Concord, MA, where she teaches multiple sections of Studio Art, Art History, and Art Appreciation. She loves working with students and bringing her love of visual art into their lives. Heather is also an experienced graphic designer, and creates all of the admissions and promotional materials for the school.
Leah Spencer is the illustrator of Odd Duck Gallery and hails from Andover. The collection combines traditional techniques, contemporary aesthetics, and a subtle wink of humor. Although accessorized, each species is portrayed without exaggeration to highlight the inherent charm and character of animals.
These pieces are drawn with pen and ink and embellished with gold metal leaf. By using old-school dip pens instead of a modern pen or marker, the mark-making is given a more organic quality. The audience neutral subjects and minimalist color scheme make these illustrations mood-lighteners for anyone and any space.
Deep gratitude is extended to all of her APS art teachers, who in addition to instilling technique, made artfulness feel worthy and joyful: Mrs. Chapin, Mr. Stevens, Mrs. Michaud, Mrs. Dunning, and Mr. Parker.
As a photographer, I attempt to describe moments in transition while observing the complexity and vastness of the land, people, and objects within constantly changing conditions. For these brief moments, time stands still for eternity.
Form and function welded, bolted, and stitched together for speed, comfort, performance, and safety. My car photography illustrates the exquisite precision of bent metal and chrome to conform to a designer's vision for the efficiencies of aerodynamics combined with the beauty of timeless style. Within this series, I use the camera to highlight and celebrate the industrial precision of car design both in its abstraction and the transformation cars undergo in different lighting and environmental atmospheric conditions.

I was born to draw. I never thought it was anything special until I started receiving complements from both students and teachers in grammar school. The Edgar Allen Poe portrait is a slight revision of a portrait I did of the author back in sixth grade. My portraits often celebrate and honor those who have given much to society: musicians, athletes, authors, poets, actors, and even a few politicians. I am very happy that I was able to honor one of my idols, Italian boxer Rocky Marciano, with a portrait I created that is on permanent display in the public library in his hometown of Brockton, Mass. These portraits are my small gift to the world during these troubled times. I hope they remind people of the great talent that continues to exist in the world and that they somehow inspire others as well as give them hope for humanity.
Deanna O'Neill is an artist living in Andover, MA and working out of The Clay School in Lynn, MA. She has been practicing ceramics on and off for nearly 20 years. Deanna studied painting in undergrad but as part of a well-rounded curriculum took a few ceramics classes. It was during these classes that her love for pottery began. Pottery has allowed Deanna to explore form and function while incorporating stylistic motifs in each piece. She finds inspiration in the world around her but is especially inspired by nature. Her forms are soft and often curvaceous, feminine, and colorful. When not at the studio Deanna enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, dog, and cat. She is especially fond of lazy afternoons snuggled under a blanket drinking a cup of tea or coffee and reading a good book.

Bio:
Born in Melrose and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, I began drawing realism in eighth grade and eventually reconnected with art as a hobby in my Junior year of high school. I am currently a Sophomore at UMass Lowell and pursuing a Bachelors degree in Studio Art. After receiving my BFA, I hope to attend an MFA program.
Artist Statement:
I recently started using oil paint in my Painting I class and worked from still life's. There was an immediate feeling of enjoyment and I realized that I wanted to continue working from live models and further my art practices. In the near future, I hope to attend an Atelier and create art that incorporates visual elements from different art movements such as Romanticism and Symbolism.
One of the things I love the most about living in Andover is our unique history, and how it is on full display all around us. These bottles tell us a lot about daily life here 100-150 years ago and remind us that in many ways the local population was not too different from us today. All of these were unearthed right here in Andover, from places where homes and farms no longer exist. I hope you enjoy the HP & CI Hood story, and the many other stories these bottles tell us.
